This might not be a relevant place to comment, but it also might be.
Has anyone ever gone through a phase (or is in a phase), of just writing and reading from files instead of cajoling everything into SQL databases and wrangling stringy queries?
I find you can just make files with your own file formats and be fine, as long as your magic numbers make a cool mnemonic when read as hex.
I'm sure I'll face a huge wall at some point in my development career, or I'll be forced to adopt SQL when inheriting a codebase, but I don't quite know what the main issue with this approach is with this. For the time being, whenever I read articles or Readmes like this it feels like my approach at least has the pro of not needing "yet another Python SQlite wrapper"
