> why-dbcode

Fair question.

After 20+ years wandering the vast wasteland of software dev — jumping between my code editor and whatever database client looked the least cursed that week — I cracked.

I wanted something simple: A tool that didn't make me alt-tab 50 times an hour. A database experience that actually felt like it belonged in my editor. A setup that worked like I work.

I’ve used a lot of tools over the years. UltraEdit. DBeaver. Even the OGs like DBVisualizer. Some were great. Some were Java. None of them felt like home.

So I built the thing I always wanted: A full-featured database client, baked right into VS Code. Like peanut butter and jelly — but for devs. And without the sticky keyboard.

Hi, I’m Mike Burgh — founder, builder, debugger, designer, and emotional support system for DBCode.

There are no VCs. No corporate overlords. Just me, VS Code, and a dangerously large coffee mug.

Every feature? Handcrafted. Every bug fix? Probably muttered at first. Every design decision? Made with dev sanity in mind.

DBCode is growing fast — and it’s all thanks to folks like you jumping in, using it, sharing feedback, and occasionally sending spicy SQL memes.

Got a question? A feature idea? A bug to squash?
Email me directly. Seriously. No form. No bot. Just a good old-fashioned email.

Thanks for checking out DBCode and supporting indie devs who care deeply about clean tools, better workflows, and not context switching every five seconds.
