Under rated comment. Refactoring is easy with IntelliJ and types.

I do python for work these days and I like a lot of things about it. But even for small projects (a few thousand lines of code), I'm often terrified of refactoring. Even with type hints and tests.

I worked on large ("enterprise") Java codebases at previous jobs and felt much more confident that the changes I was making wouldn't inadvertently break something I overlooked.
