Andrew welcomes back Dual MVP and Intune aficionado Hailey Phillips for a wide-ranging conversation covering her project IntuneStack, the value of DevOps principles in endpoint management, and the mindset behind consistent skill-building. The two dig into conference culture, the importance of community, mentorship, and why showing up every day — even for just ten minutes — matters more than waiting for inspiration to strike.
Key Takeaways:
Key Takeaways:
- IntuneStack in action: Hailey's CI/CD-influenced PowerShell project manages Intune policy deployment across dev, test, and prod groups using promotion gates rather than expensive separate tenants — a more resilient, consistent, and auditable approach to endpoint management.
- Consistency over inspiration: Whether it's PowerShell, the gym, or mentoring, Hailey's philosophy is the same: stop waiting to feel motivated and just start small. Ten minutes a day compounds over time, and momentum is something you build, not something you wait for.
- Community is a career asset: Conferences like PowerShell Summit and PSConfEU aren't just about the sessions — they're about building a support system. Having people who can sanity-check your thinking is one of the most underrated advantages in a tech career.
