MorningDrop: a local Gemma agent that checks last night's data drops, and gets checked itself
Description and use
<p><em>This is a submission for the <a href="https://dev.to/challenges/hacktoberfest-week3-2026-10-19">Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady</a></em></p> <h2> What I Built </h2> <p>I'm a data engineer. Most of my mornings used to start the same way: open the folder where the nightly exports landed, open each CSV, scroll, squint, and try to work out whether anything was wrong before someone downstream noticed. Usually nothing was. That's what makes it so tiring: you do the same check every day so you can catch the one day something breaks.</p> <p><strong>MorningDrop</st
