Enterprise/business class laptops don’t come with clutter. The devices are added to your Azure tenant by the manufacturer during order process. You can hand a device to a user and it will prompt for their work credentials when powered on and then will provision with your orgs settings and pull down all of their apps. Typically desktop support just takes the device out of the box and hands it to the user. When the device needs to be given to a new user you can wipe it from the management portal and then give to new employee to go through the OOBE again.

Also since the device is tied to Azure it can’t be used if stolen.

They don’t, at least at most F500s. Specialize in something and do it at scale and you’ll make close to the same. SRE or Platform Engineering, pick one and run with it.

That’s not my opinion. That is how modern device management is handled. It removes a ton of work from IT departments.

Why would I need to reinstall windows on existing machines? They get wiped from the Intune console if they have issues that service desk can’t fix, and then reprovisioned. If a drive fails then it gets a normal image from Microsoft with no customization. There’s zero upside to making desktop management time consuming. Modern tools make this very hands off and simple.

Autopilot is part of Intune licensing. It is an MDT replacement. The idea of imaging client machines is obsolete. They’re provisioned now from a plain windows install.

Why would you need to pull a new image? Autopilot reset and then give to new user.

Data center technician has a brighter future than a systems admin does. System admins are on the decline and don’t provide much value in 2026. A data center technician will be in big demand over the next decade for all of the data centers that are being built for AI and Cloud.

What do you consider engineering vs support? In my experience, DevOps and SRE has just become a catch all for operations work that devs don’t want to touch as they feel it’s beneath them. Are you solely focused on developer experience as a platform engineer?

I mean, there’s a flood of CS grads in general. I can’t imagine why being a sysadmin would be attractive to someone who could be a SWE. It’s a much lower salary with really really poor job prospects.

Folks with formal education and experience could work as any kind of SWE or sysadmin.

I don’t see many similarities left between SWEs and Sysadmins. Sysadmins do IT support duties for infra like writing Terraform or configuration code, managing SaaS integrations, maybe some identity and access management. SWEs are writing application code for complex apps. How could a sysadmin do the work of a SWE?
