Oh, my...don't you know who I am?. Classy. I guess my aversion to being Internet Famous makes me easy to condescend to.

My "actual full-time job" is building and operating security teams for Fortune 1000 sized companies, not startups. These kinds of issues are also what I do every day. I just do it with far more customers, internal stake holders, budget, technical debt, politics, employees, governance, geography, etc., etc. And I actually do those hard things; I don't just say "you should do this...it should be easy".

Consider that just maybe your perspective doesn't represent the totality of the security landscape. Things that are easy when you're consulting to the latest Foo of Bar startup or whatever is spooling out cat videos this week are very, very hard when you're dealing with entrenched, interconnected business processes processing billions of dollars of other peoples money. Just a thought.
