I’m in a predominately administrative position for a large organization, with an education in development and a lot of freelance experience, but that’s just not the path my professional career took. Our system privileges are strict and I have to dance around things like SharePoint, PowerApps, PowerAutomate, Access, Excel, and sometimes VB Script within… I have access to Node and Python, but user privs are blocked at using npm. I’ve tried to request perms to utilize basic packages such as Yeoman in order to develop in SPFx SharePoint Framework and they consider each package an application that would require a thorough vetting process
All that to say, it’s an absolute cluster-fsck to automate anything with the proper tooling. If there is any way I can just do it in Excel these days, I do it. I’ve created some pretty ridiculous stuff in it. The upside is that once I am able to navigate cutting all of this red tape and use proper tools, I’ll have plenty of projects in mind and likely be asked to return as a contractor for double+ the money to maintain them in retirement.
