变量实际上只是内存中特定区域的名称。

我曾经认为应用程序的大部分工作实际上是编程。我相信这在某些情况下是正确的，但根据我的经验，我花了更多的时间来研究、记录、讨论和分析，而不是实际编码。(我从事的是操作基于激光的传感器的软件，确定如何最好地控制硬件比编写代码更具挑战性。)

我也曾经认为，程序员可以回头问旁边的人问题的开放环境是程序员团队敲定解决方案的最佳环境。事实证明，不管有没有团队，一个黑暗孤独的房间效率更高。

当我毕业时，我认为专业编程就像在大学编程一样，这意味着我将得到输入和预期输出，并被要求填写进行转换的黑框。在现实中，我必须弄清楚输入，输出和黑盒。

我过去并不认为市场和销售人员是人类的祸害，太天真了。

My co-workers were/are producing supposedly bad code because they sucked/suck. It took me a while to learn that I should first check what really happened. Most of the times, bad code was caused by lack of management, customers who didn't want to check what they really wanted and started changing their minds like there's no tomorrow, or other circunstances out of anyone's control, like economic crysis. Customers demand "for yesterday" features because they are stupid: Not really. It's about communication. If someone tells them it everything can really be done in 1 week, guess what? they'll want it in 1 week. "Never change code that works". This is not a good thing IMO. You obviously don't have to change what's really working. However, if you never change a piece of code because it's supposedly working and it's too complex to change, you may end up finding out that code isn't really doing what it's supposed to do. Eg: I've seen a sales commission calculation software doing wrong calculations for two years because nobody wanted to maintain the software. Nobody at sales knew about it. The formula was so complex they didn't really know how to check the numbers.

在很长一段时间里，我认为糟糕的编程是发生在边缘的事情。正确做事是标准。我现在没那么天真了。

所有的语言(大部分)都是平等的。

在很长一段时间里，我认为语言的选择对开发过程的难度和项目成功的潜力并没有太大的影响。这绝对不是真的。

为工作选择正确的语言与任何其他单个项目决策一样重要/关键。

. net结构体(c#和VB.NET)是引用类型，就像类一样。

我是在。net 1.0出现之前或之后的某个时刻“收到”这条智慧的(我不知道从哪里来的，它可能完全从我的脑海中冒出来，就像雅典娜从宙斯的额头上冒出来一样)，并一直保存着它，直到大约4个月前Jon Skeet对这个概念进行了消除。

感谢乔恩。

附注:与编程无关，但我也相信(直到5分钟前)“阿波罗从宙斯的额头上长成了一个完整的阿波罗”。
