Friday evening (CET).
Half of your GitHub Copilot CLI premium tokens are still unused.
This feels less like a quota and more like a challenge.
What’s the most unnecessary thing you would automate tonight? 👀

A PowerShell script that monitors your clipboard every 2 seconds and, whenever it detects a pasted URL, automatically checks if it's a recipe site — then extracts just the recipe, skipping the 3,000-word life story about how the author's grandmother once saw a tomato in Tuscany.
Runner-up ideas:
A cron job that counts how many tabs you have open and sends you a passive-aggressive Teams notification when it exceeds 30
A script that git blames your own commits and roasts your past self's variable names
An automation that detects when you type console.log more than 5 times in a file and plays the "you could use a debugger" airhorn sound
But honestly? The most unnecessary Friday night automation is spending tokens asking an AI what to automate instead of just automating something. The recursion has already begun.
Go break something fun. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
