I thought I'd be coding for 8 hours straight. Realistically, I get 4 hours a day of coding, 1 hour for lunch, 1 for coffee breaks, and 2 for screwing around / chit chatting/ stack over and under flowing. Prior to working, I thought that all clients would be idiots and don't know two craps about computers. Boy was I wrong on that one. Sometimes, we get projects by people who can do it better than we can, they just don't have the time to do it. I thought cubicles were bad, Right now I love them :D I actually moved from a door-ed office to a cubicle. I like the openness. All programmers are not athletic. I thought that I was the only one that goes to the gym. Where I work, at least 10 of us go to the gym every day at 5 am. I thought there would be no women programmers. A couple of our leads are ladies.

我以为这将是一场过山车之旅，里面有飞驰的汽车、放荡的女人、私人飞机和大胆的冒险。等着瞧吧，直到我得到那个职业顾问....

订阅许多RSS订阅，阅读许多博客并参与开源项目是很重要的。

我意识到，真正重要的是我花了更多的时间来写代码。我有阅读和关注许多博客的习惯，虽然它们是丰富的信息来源，但真的不可能吸收所有的东西。平衡阅读是很重要的，要多强调练习。

Reg。开源的话，我怕我不会受欢迎。我尝试过参与开源项目，大部分都是。net。看到许多开源项目甚至没有遵循适当的体系结构，我感到震惊。我看到。net中的一个系统没有使用分层架构，数据库连接代码到处都是，包括后面的代码，我放弃了。

字节和字符实际上是一回事——“ASCII”只是将字节值映射到屏幕上的符号的一种方式。

阅读关于Unicode的文章真的让我大开眼界(尽管我仍然没有完全理解它)。

ide会变得更快。

这真的很尴尬，但当我开始学习如何编程时，没有什么能让我满意。我想写电子游戏。而不是这些书里让我写的那些琐碎的小程序。所以我决定跳过10章，忽略基础知识。

所以我基本上忽略了变量!

问题是我没有从惯例中识别关键字:

Car car = new Car(); //good
Car test = new Car(); //wrong must be lowercase car!

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) //good
for (int test = 0; test < 10; test++)//wrong must be i

我这样做了一年多，甚至用3000行字做了一个井字游戏! 当时我为自己的厉害而激动不已，直到我在互联网上找到了150行一字棋。然后意识到自己是个白痴，就重新开始。
