Do We Still Need Dataclasses? // PYDANTIC Tutorial

Pydantic is a very useful package that makes dealing with data much easier, similar to what Python's built-in dataclasses do. Where Pydantic shines is in dealing with validating and sanitizing data. In this tutorial video, I show you how it works, and when to choose Pydantic over dataclasses in your code projects.
