About this episode
This week we have Will Frey on the podcast: ML engineer, Python "knowledge dictionary" and type hints fan & geek.
We talk about his background, how he learns / keeps up with Python's fast moving ecosystem and of course we look at Python's type hints in-depth: why care and some of his favorite tricks.
We hope you enjoy this episode.
