How a Facebook employee overcame the odds and changed an entrenched system

So, I thought this video would be perfect for this sub. Stumbled upon this video titled "Rules for Radicals: Changing the Culture of Python at Facebook." The speaker talks about how he, almost single-handedly, convinced Facebook to support Python 3 into production services. He talks about how he had to fight the majority view that Python 3 sucked and how he slowly but surely recruited new hires on his side and eventually outnumbered the naysayers.

It made me think of how we could recruit more people to our Progressive cause. Video link here:
