I built a tool to stop fighting about indentation
I spent 2 hours yesterday arguing about trailing commas in a PR.
It was a 50-file change. The logic was sound. The tests passed. But we got stuck on style.
It's draining. We hire senior engineers to solve hard problems, not to be human linters.
I realized I was becoming the bottleneck. I was the "No" guy, but for all the wrong reasons.
So I hacked together CodeProt to automate the nitpicks. It's a tool that sits between your code and the review, fixing the small stuff so you don't have to.
It's still a work in progress, but it's already saved me hours this week.
If you're tired of "LGTM" fatigue, check it out.
Love tools that remove tiny but recurring friction — those usually earn trust fast.
At this stage, what’s the one behavior you’re watching to know this is actually valuable — teams enabling it by default, repeat use across repos, or fewer formatting debates showing up at all?
