As someone who grew up in a society with rampant corruption (India), Fountainhead (the destruction of buildings at the end of the novel) and Atlas Shrugged (motivated me into leaving India to self-implode while I traveled to US to have a better life) quite a impression on my teenage years. It was only later when I thought about these books more that I realized how crazy they are.
In the meantime, India didn't self-implode, at least not yet.

I must admit that when I first learnt git, I thought that the only way to correctly use git was to know the object model of git. I thought this was important because git is at the end a data manager and I then though that one should know the data model you are manipulating in order to manipulate it in correct way. In that respect, I always found git commands mostly intuitive.
