Every month the same job comes back: retyping 40 PDF invoices into a spreadsheet, renaming 300 photos from a shoot, digging through two years of downloads. Nobody assigned these jobs. They survive because nobody fixed them.
One Fix A Week picks one each week and deletes the work with a Python script, then shows it in a 10-second Reel. Week three is the example: one command reads vendor names, dates and 312 line items out of 40 invoice PDFs and writes one workbook — a 40-row summary sheet and a 312-row line-item sheet, in 0.8 seconds, without moving or deleting a single source file.
The videos themselves are built the same way. All 300 frames of each 1080×1920 Reel are drawn by code and piped to ffmpeg. No screen-capture library appears anywhere in the codebase, so nobody's screen — and nobody's personal data — is ever in frame.
The limits are plain: the tools are command-line only, and scanned image PDFs are skipped rather than guessed at.
