Learning Coding on Oil Rigs
- Samuel Colvin learned programming during downtime on oil rigs in Indonesia, which sparked his passion for coding.
- Early struggles with programming led to learning through reading code and trial and error rather than formal study.
Pydantic's Balanced Validation Approach
- Pydantic maximizes data validation by trying to coerce input into correct types rather than just rejecting them.
- It balances Pythonic leniency with practical strictness to reduce errors without over-rejecting data.
Recursive Nested Validation
- Pydantic recursively validates nested complex data structures like lists of models automatically.
- It tries to convert nested elements based on the specified type annotations down to any depth needed.
