JS has saved me many hours of mind-numbing, error-prone manual keyboard work by giving me a way to hack together a simple bit of automation as a web page.

Even when a computer has been ham-fistedly locked-down by an overzealous IT department, I can almost always still access a text editor and a browser that will load local HTML files.

Add to that the beauty of bookmarklets.

It's silly that IT departments forces us to resort to techniques used before browser extensions became a thing, and it's ironic that it's because they don't know how to code, but here we are.

The amount of work I have completed with Tampermonkey in situations like this should have made that same IT department quite anxious.
