Tell the managers and to any other person who interferes these exact words: Every time I show leadership, and confidence get the team moving, some random business person, client or manager steps in, and effectively kicks us right back into the frozen state of affairs. It's driving me nuts.

Hello hashnoders. I'm Anton and I live in Russia in a relatively small city called "Yoshkar-Ola". I'm interested in learning foreign languages. So far successfully I have only learned one foreign language: English. I'm proud to say that I learned it almost entirely by myself. Which in a sense a weird statement. Because I kinda had help from all the books that I read. Books don't write themselves you know. I'm a recent Manjaro user. Before that I've been using Ubuntu and Ubuntu like distributions. Before Manjaro though I tried Antergos which was really hard and I had to give that up because of some unsolvable bugs. Now, I really enjoy Manjaro. Currently, I'm growing more and more on the command line. It's one of my goals to become a master of Bash : ) Also currently I'm learning Elm, Elixir and Haskell and a fan of functional programming.

Devon from Devon Crawford channel has a very nice video about it. https://youtu.be/ReVeUvwTGdU He talks about C and Assembly languages there as well. He talks about the benefits of knowing those languages. It is an exciting video I might add.

Think of it as just building a building out of bricks. Where a brick is just a function and you compose your software out of those smaller functions. It's that simple.
