Yeah, this is pretty much it. The author complains about CSVs being "notoriously inconsistent" as though switching to some other format would magically change that. They're only inconsistent because sometimes lazy programmers

Honestly I bet it's a learning algorithm that they used to identify bots, rather than something a human decided. Spam detection algorithms usually have a training set. One of the features could have been "uses_feature_x", whi

I find that it doesn't get too frustrating if you don't let it get out of hand. Routinely prioritize keeping dependencies up to date, clearly depreciate "old" / bad code, and focus on coming up with good product des

I believe marshmallow v3, which is not yet released, claims to solve the error handling / swallowing exception issue. I use marshmallow all the time and love it - I agree that error handling is its weakest area, even using strict mode.
