Named tuples, typed or not, are a bad idea for most data structures. They might make some sense when dealing with coordinates (x, y, z), but why would you want to use it for an Employee class, as shown in the example? This is a tuple, so you can iterate over it, employee[0] == "Guido", and employee[1] == 3. This isn’t useful in any way, it’s confusing, and it’s making it harder to change the order of fields in this class.

Just use an actual class, not a class pretending to be a tuple sometimes.
