I'm not sure exaclty what he's talking about with Serde, in Go when you deserialize data into a struct it is strongly typed. It's not up to the dev to check that you received a string or an int.
I have not done deserialization in Go, but my understanding of what he meant via context was that because everything has default values, it is possible to end up with a struct even if the JSON (or whatever) isn't actually well-formed. I don't know how true that is or to what extent it causes issues.

Right, this is what I was thinking, but that this is the case is the point being made here, and it's consistent with the rest of the post. The default option doesn't really check things for you.
