GitHub Copilot Spending Limit: How to Set It, What It Caps

A GitHub Copilot spending limit is a monthly budget, set in billing settings, that caps metered AI credit consumption for an enterprise, an organization, a cost center, or a single user. Creating one takes about two minutes. Knowing what it stops takes longer, and the gap between those two things is where most surprise Copilot invoices live. Two facts account for nearly all of them. On enterprise, organization and cost center budgets, the setting that actually blocks usage is off by default, ...

Stop Just Learning. Start Shipping: Welcome to SHEinnov8

If you are a woman in tech who is stuck in "tutorial hell," constantly taking courses but never actually deploying real software, this is for you. I am Mary Macharia, a Software Engineer specializing in Backend Development, AI/ML, and QA. I founded SHEinnov8 because I noticed a massive gap in our community: plenty of brilliant women have the drive to build something real, but they lack the space, the collaborative structure, or the network to actually push it across the finish line. We ...

I Built an API Because My Government’s Website Got the Date Wrong (and Just… Deleted It)

There’s a funny (and slightly sad) story behind why I built mabims.dev . It started with a date. More specifically, a Hijri date . Once Upon a Time, the Government Website Had the Date For a long time, Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) website displayed the current Hijri date. It was convenient. You opened the website, looked at the corner of the page, and there it was: Today: 30 Sha'ban Simple enough. A lot of people, including me, go...

Mapping API Path, Query, Header, and Body Parameters to MCP Tool Schemas

An API operation can receive input from several places. Path parameters identify the record. Query parameters filter or paginate the result. Headers carry metadata or authentication. The request body contains structured data for create and update operations. An MCP tool should give the AI client one clear input schema. That is the mapping problem: HTTP API inputs path + query + headers + body become MCP tool input one structured schema the AI client can understand ...

Hotel price tracking with Google Hotels data: an API in 10 minutes (Python + n8n)

Google Hotels already compares every booking site for a hotel and a stay — Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Hotels.com and the hotel's own site. It has a "track prices" button too, but it emails you on its own terms, picks the sources, and keeps the history. If you want the numbers — for a trip, a rate parity check, or a price history chart — you need them as rows. This is how to get Google Hotels prices for exact dates as JSON, without a Google API key (there is no public Google Hotels API for r...
