## Program and Process

We will talk a lot about the running "**process**", so it's useful to have clarity about what it means, and what's the difference with the word "**program**".

### What is a Program

The word **program** is commonly used to describe many things:

* The **code** that you write, the **Python files**.

  // `lastTransitionTime` is the last time the condition transitioned from one status to another.
  optional k8s.io.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.Time lastTransitionTime = 3;

  // `reason` is a unique, one-word, CamelCase reason for the condition's last transition.
  optional string reason = 4;

  // `message` is a human-readable message indicating details about last transition.
  optional string message = 5;
}

  // `lastTransitionTime` is the last time the condition transitioned from one status to another.
  optional k8s.io.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.Time lastTransitionTime = 3;

  // `reason` is a unique, one-word, CamelCase reason for the condition's last transition.
  optional string reason = 4;

  // `message` is a human-readable message indicating details about last transition.
  optional string message = 5;
}

  // `lastTransitionTime` is the last time the condition transitioned from one status to another.
  optional k8s.io.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.Time lastTransitionTime = 3;

  // `reason` is a unique, one-word, CamelCase reason for the condition's last transition.
  optional string reason = 4;

  // `message` is a human-readable message indicating details about last transition.
  optional string message = 5;
}

  // `lastTransitionTime` is the last time the condition transitioned from one status to another.
  optional k8s.io.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.Time lastTransitionTime = 3;

  // `reason` is a unique, one-word, CamelCase reason for the condition's last transition.
  optional string reason = 4;

  // `message` is a human-readable message indicating details about last transition.
  optional string message = 5;
}

Передайте `*` в качестве первого параметра функции.

Python не будет ничего делать с `*`, но он будет знать, что все следующие параметры являются именованными аргументами (парами ключ-значение), также известными как <abbr title="From: K-ey W-ord Arg-uments"><code>kwargs</code></abbr>, даже если у них нет значений по умолчанию.

### Лучше с `Annotated`

* 🚨 Avoid using `Optional[SomeType]`
* Instead ✨ **use `Union[SomeType, None]`** ✨.

Both are equivalent and underneath they are the same, but I would recommend `Union` instead of `Optional` because the word "**optional**" would seem to imply that the value is optional, and it actually means "it can be `None`", even if it's not optional and is still required.

I think `Union[SomeType, None]` is more explicit about what it means.

### Preprocess the OpenAPI Specification for the Client Generator

The generated code still has some **duplicated information**.

We already know that this method is related to the **items** because that word is in the `ItemsService` (taken from the tag), but we still have the tag name prefixed in the method name too. 😕

We will probably still want to keep it for OpenAPI in general, as that will ensure that the operation IDs are **unique**.
