Prisma and Drizzle...those gave me a bit too much heck. Kysley is close enough to SQL while offering some benefits, typings being one of them, but also query builders are often helpful when I need to run subtle variations of the same query, e.g. depending on the user's permissions or to add search filters.
Well... I think MySQL is a 2nd class citizen so I had to write my own schema gen but that only burned a few hours. Now it's great
