Thank you for this. I suppose I should have included the caveot that my rant applies mostly to early stage shops which are aren't ready to build out and ship a shiny new dev machine for every employee. Another problem for smaller startups is that if you're not careful almost everybody ends up being "blessed". And simply being a senior sysadmin type doesn't mean that you're automatically immune from all forms of social engineering attacks. I suppose your point is that even very early companies should opt for standardized hardware, I think you're right.
