I built @olegkoval/queryd to catch DB latency before users feel it.

What it does:
- detects slow queries across Node DB clients
- tracks per-request query budgets (query storms)
- works with Prisma OR driver-agnostic wrappers

@nyaomaru_dev It will happen but also will gradually slow down when/if AI costs will skyrocket

2/2

A lot of viral tools have no real proof, no benchmarks, and no visibility into what they are actually doing.

Been there with the Caveman stuff. Tested it properly, removed it, forgot about it.

Run your own tests before installing hyped AI tooling.

At minimum, ask a few models whether the tool’s claims make sense for your workflow. It can save time, tokens, and cleanup later.

every app wants your email, your card, and a monthly fee.

i build the opposite.

local-only. no cloud. no account. no subscription.

if it runs on your machine, your data stays on your machine. that's it.

Built a small GitHub Action to stop manually merging routine maintenance bot PRs.

It automerges Dependabot, Snyk, and Renovate PRs only after checks pass, syncs branches when needed, and pings maintainers when something breaks.

Shipped: `eslint-plugin-drop-em-dash`

One rule. Bans the em dash (`—`). Autofixes to `-`.
Why you care: it's the #1 tell of LLM-written text, and every paste from Notion/Docs/ChatGPT sneaks it into your code.

`npm i -D eslint-plugin-drop-em-dash`
