I've mentioned before, but I think about this a lot:

"There must be another room, somewhere down the hall, where the real meeting is happening, where the real experts are, making the real decisions ... because it can’t just be us. It can’t just be this." -- Jake Sullivan, 2013

I hope you have occasion to come across this revelation in your own time.

This is the room where it happens. With people like this. In circumstances like this. Where everyone is experiencing exceptional. It's people. It's just me. For everything. No older no wiser. It's just us.

@SwiftOnSecurity I have not enjoyed the countless times I’ve had this revelation over the years.

It’s mostly led to me just always assuming if I say something then there is a decent chance of that “just happening” because others were listening. I’ve never sought such responsibility. But somehow it finds me.
