How do I tell Homebrew to stop running brew update every time I want to install something?
Homebrew started running brew update automatically before every brew install. This means that I need to wait 10-20 seconds, depending on network speed, every time I want to install a package. This is tedious and unnecessary.
How can I opt out from this behavior, or set it to something saner?
macos command-line homebrew

Just prefix your install command with HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1, like this:
HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install somepackage
Source: brew manpage

I personally find pinning/unpinning formulas more useful. For example you install a tool depends on 100 libraries which you don't use.
brew deps someprogram | xargs brew pin
Then you can check your pinned formulas anytime. If you have any problems with the version just unpin.
Not recommended to everyone, to pin all the formulas and manage updates manually:
brew list | xargs brew pin
