python is becoming a weird language. we introduced type checking so we don't have to do these mental gymnastics. and yet as the article suggests, there are still reasons to do them.

as a subscriber, i am also very disappointed by all the issues i am having recently with youtube. this must be due to all the cracking down they are doing. it is also affecting paying customers!
