我正在对初级(也许是高级)软件工程师所犯的常见错误和错误假设进行一些研究。

你坚持时间最长、最终被纠正的假设是什么?

例如,我误解了整数的大小不是标准的,而是取决于语言和目标。说起来有点尴尬,但事实就是这样。

坦率地说;你有什么坚定的信念?你大概坚持了多长时间?它可以是关于一种算法、一种语言、一个编程概念、测试,或者任何关于编程、编程语言或计算机科学的东西。

在很长一段时间里(大约5年),我认为PHP很棒。

我以为我懂算法。然后我加入了Topcoder.com

其他人会像我一样被已知的错误所困扰,并且会把修复它们作为项目工作的优先级。

我一直认为,任何为任何语言编写任何代码的人都会使用编辑程序。

I was working with a client of mine who had me on mostly as support and to write some of the more complex things for him. Well one day he messed up a file, big time. He accidentally saved over three hours worth of his own work, and when I asked him why he didn't save more often he replied with, "because I wasn't done". Naturally, this was not an acceptable answer, and I poked and prodded a little further. I eventually came to find out that he he has never used any editing program, EVER! Not even notepad.exe! He had been using an online CPanel editor for files! It didn't even have a 'Find' function. He couldn't ever save until he was done because he was editing the live file on the site!

不用说,我很惊讶,他至今仍在使用CPanel编辑器……

代码行数越多,软件就越好。

其他人都在使用最新最好的技术,而我的团队是唯一一个使用劣质过时工具的人。(除了神秘的cobol恐龙)

我希望自己能成为有钱人,为别人编程
