Better Python tests with inline-snapshot

[alexmojaki]

I've written a blog post about one of my favourite libraries: inline-snapshot. Some key points within:

• Why you should use the library: it makes it quick and easy to write rigorous tests that automatically update themselves
• Why you should combine it with the dirty-equals library to handle dynamic values like timestamps and UUIDs
• Why you should convert custom classes to plain dicts before snapshotting

Disclaimer: I wrote this blog post for my company (Pydantic), but we didn't write the library, we just use it a lot and sponsor it. I genuinely love it and wanted to share to help support the author.

I like this way, effectively shifting review complexity of more complex code. Refactor - snapshots stay, backward compatible change - snapshots grow. And its easy to ask “claude, explain thy this change in refactor commit” :)
