   Coworker: You'll need to speak with security leadership in your org and get alignment.
   Me: checks org chart, finds no other principal+ security engineers anywhere under their great grandboss's reporting structure
   Me: ...I appear to be the security leadership in my org...

     @ryanc Is it the infosec equivalent of "Actually, I'm the manager?"

     @aris I have no idea. Also people keep pointing out potential issues with my project and they're all things I've already had meetings about and discussed costs vs benefits.

     Like, what the hell happened? It's almost like I know what I'm doing.

     @ryanc Most people can't make the difference between experience-based confidence and hot-air-based confidence because they look the same.
     But I've found that in positions of authority, it's always good to have someone else cover you and explicitly say "I endorse xyz's plan"
