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。

在开始开发之前,您可以完全理解问题。

我仍然对以下的一些误解感到困扰——尽管我知道这些误解是正确的,但我仍然试图抓住它们不放:

All stakeholders will make decisions about software design objectively. Those that aren't embroiled in writing the code make all sorts of decisions based entirely on emotion that don't always make sense to us developers. Project budgets always make sense - I've seen companies that are quite happy to drop [just for example] $50,000 a month for years rather than pay $250,000 to have a project completed in 6 months. The government for one loses their annual budget if they don't spend it - so spend it they will, come hell or high water. It astounds me at how many project dollars are wasted on things like this. You should always use the right tools for the right job - sometimes this decision is not in your hands. Sometimes it comes down from on high that "thou shalt use X technology" for this project, leaving you thinking "WTF! Who came up with that ridiculous idea?"... the guy paying your paycheque, that's who, now get it done. Programming ideology comes first and foremost, everything else is secondary. In reality, deadlines and business objectives need to be met in order to get your paycheque. Sometimes you make the worst decisions because you just don't have time to do it the right way... just as sometimes that word is on the tip of your tongue but the minute it takes to recall it makes you choose a different and less ideal word. There isn't always time to do it right, sometimes there is only time to do it - however that may be. Hence oft' seen anti-patterns used by so called experienced developers who have to knock out a solution to a problem 10 minutes before the presentation deadline for the software being delivered to your best client tomorrow.

Windows中的线程很便宜。

事实证明,这只是部分正确。线程有一定的开销,需要自己的地址空间,在那里它可以生存和快乐。因此,如果我发现自己在一个应用程序中处理数十个线程,我会问自己如何将所有内容简化并整合到更少的线程中。

让非程序员明白我在说什么。

现在流行的$符号作为java/javascript标识符的一部分是非法的。

以某种方式,一个运营大量相当高调/高流量网站的公司实际上知道他们在做什么。结果他们在很大程度上毫无头绪,而且非常幸运地处于他们所处的位置。所以我想寓意是,

可靠的软件工程和最佳实践=业务成功

还是……
