How messy is the JSON exactly? Type providers are awesome when the schema is consistent.

But tbh, from what little I know, I'd be expecting you to expect me to solve the issue from first principles. So using a "and then magic" technique might be something interviewees shy from.

Hahaha, "when the schema is consistent". The strong typing herd keeps thinking it can smash reality into a square hole.

This sentiment is surprising. Doesn't Python crash a lot at run-time, specifically because some 'dynamic types' clash. They become a real type at some point, at compile time or at run time. Why wait for the crash to figure it out?
