I'm going to spoil it for you because it's so damn important.
Microsoft did a scientific study - based on MS Vista code and found that the best predictor of bugs was:
ORGANIZATIONAL COMPLEXITY
More people = worse code
More departments = worse code
Higher turnover = worse code

Like my current workflow in Python with mypy. Test, code, refactor. Refactoring is time when I mostly think about readability and so annotating with types.
Would like dynamic mode in Java. Write code without types. Test and run. Then think about types with hints from compiler. xitter.cf/mfeathers/status/96274…

Next time you have to write any significant amount of code, imagine that you are going to have to write a letter that teaches someone how to reproduce it. The only code you can show them are tests. It really changes how you approach the problem.
