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。

我很早就开始学习编程了。那时我14岁左右。我有各种疯狂的想法，但不要问我准确的时间，因为那是很久以前的事了。
Ok, so, I believed for a while that if you use the term synchronize in Java, then Java solves this nasting synchronizing thing for you I believed for at least half a year, likely more, that static typing would improve performance. I believed that freeing something would return memory back to the OS. I believed that malloc calls boil down to checking if there is enough free space on the OS, so malloc would be inexpensive. I thought a long while that Java was built with all the benefits and flaws of the other languages in mind, into a "perfect blend" that would take the best properties of the other languages and reject the mistakes. I vastly overestimated the number of cases where LinkedLists outperform ArrayLists. I thought that NP-hardness was a proof that no INSTANCE could be solved efficiently, which is trivially false, for a while. I thought that finding the best flight-plan on travel agency web sites would take so long because of the "Travelling Salesman Problem", as I proudly chuckled to my relatives (when I was small, alright?!)
还能想出更多。不知道我坚持了多久。对不起。
PS: 啊，好吧，这个被清除得并不慢，但我看到新手时不时地这样做，所以我想你可能会感兴趣:我还认为要存储不确定数量的东西，你需要为每个东西声明一个新变量。所以我要创建变量a1 a2 a3…，而不是使用一个变量a，我将它声明为一个向量。

ASCII以不同于二进制的方式存储
XML名称空间(或者更糟，格式良好)在某种程度上比没有它们要困难得多。
一个非常常见的错误，甚至在W3C!
我相信创建程序就像在课堂上教的一样……你和一群人坐在一起，讨论一个问题，想出一个解决方案，等等。相反，现实世界是“这是我的问题，我需要解决它，开始”，十分钟后你又遇到了另一个问题，让你没有真正的时间来有效地计划解决方案。
用汇编语言进行优化=重写。
When I first really understood assembly (coming from BASIC) it seemed that the only way to make code run faster was to rewrite it in assembly. Took quite a few years to realize that compilers can be very good at optimization and especially with CPUs with branch prediction etc they can probably do a better job than a human can do in a reasonable amount of time. Also that spending time on optimizing the algorithm is likely to give you a better win than spending time converting from a high to a low level language. Also that premature optimization is the root of all evil...

现在我们决定是继续还是中断。
