我通过阅读K&R自学了C。不幸的是，我没有逐字逐句地读，肯定漏掉了一些东西。我编写了我自己的malloc和calloc版本，我在不同的工作中都随身携带，因为我不知道你可以只链接现有的库。我这样做了好几年，直到最后有人问我为什么要带着这些东西到处走，“嗯……你知道你可以直接链接现有的库，对吧?”

评论越多越好。我总是试图让我的代码尽可能具有可读性——主要是因为我几乎肯定是那个会修复我漏过的bug的人。所以在过去的几年里，我经常会收到一段又一段的评论。

最终，我明白了，有一个点，更多的评论——无论结构多么整齐——没有增加价值，实际上成为一个麻烦的维护。这些天，我采取了目录+脚注的方法，每个人都为此感到高兴。

我所受的教育将为我在野外工作做好准备。

创建一个成功的应用程序只需要程序员就可以轻松完成。软件也要易于使用，美观，文档和适当的营销。软件开发是多学科的，如果一门学科不及格，应用程序也可能会失败。

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……

作为一个新手，我有一个假设，在这个领域工作多年的人自然是更好的开发人员。
