我一直认为，要成为一名优秀的程序员，必须了解系统的所有内部工作原理。我很羞愧，因为在开始编码之前，我不知道关于这门语言的一切，比如它的库、模式、代码片段。 我不再那么天真了。

In the early days, most personal computers had a cassette tape interface for loading and storing programs. I did not have a computer at this time but read everything I could get my hands on (mostly magazines) that had anything to do with computers (this was the late 70's - no internet for me). For some reason I was under the impression that programs were executed directly from the cassette tape and that the only reason computers had any RAM was to store variables while the program ran. I figured that when the code had to execute a jump instruction, it would somehow rewind or advance the tape to the correct position and continue from there.

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……

代码越少越好。现在我知道，有时候如果代码行数更多，就更容易阅读/理解，这是值得的

这种编程是不可能的。

不是开玩笑的，我一直认为编程是一种不可能学会的东西，我总是远离它。当我接近代码的时候，我永远也无法理解它。

然后有一天，我坐下来阅读了一些基本的初学者教程，并从那里开始学习。现在我是一名程序员，我热爱工作的每一分钟。

另外，我认为编程并不容易，它是一个挑战，我更喜欢学习，没有什么比解决一些编程问题更有趣的了。

我是一名初出茅庐的年轻开发者，希望从事专业的开发工作，因为这是我所热爱的，以下是我曾经持有的一些观点，这些观点都是我在短暂的经验中学到的，但都是错误的

当你根本不把用户界面和逻辑分开时，你最终会遇到的可怕的混乱是可以接受的，这也是每个人写软件的方式

不存在太多复杂或抽象的东西

一类责任——我从未真正有过这个概念，它对我来说是非常正式的

测试是我在卧室里编写代码时不需要做的事情

我不需要源代码控制，因为它对我所做的项目来说是多余的

开发人员什么都做，我们应该知道如何设计图标和做出漂亮的布局

Dispose并不总是需要结束符

任何类型的错误发生时都应该抛出异常

异常是针对错误情况的，很多时候只返回一个指示失败的值就可以了。我最近才明白这一点，我一直在说这一点，并且在很长一段时间内仍然抛出异常

我可以编写一个完全没有错误的应用程序
