Currently having a new hire write a library in python and I noticed he was doing this in a few PRs. I went and explained to him this was not necessary and that he could just call the original function where he needed it. While showing him how to inline the functions I realised he was actually adding type annotations to functions which did not have them in the original libraries.

Nevermind what I told you, keep doing this.
