在我完成计算机学校的学习后，我可以开始一份工作，并将我在学校学到的知识应用到现实世界中。 (我真的希望我不要浪费4年的时间学习操作系统和prolog)

我最近才发现在Hello World中执行了超过一百万条指令!我写的c++程序。我从来没有对像一条cout语句这样简单的东西有过如此高的期望

像Python或Ruby这样的动态类型语言不太适合用于大型项目。

我仍然对以下的一些误解感到困扰——尽管我知道这些误解是正确的，但我仍然试图抓住它们不放:

All stakeholders will make decisions about software design objectively. Those that aren't embroiled in writing the code make all sorts of decisions based entirely on emotion that don't always make sense to us developers. Project budgets always make sense - I've seen companies that are quite happy to drop [just for example] $50,000 a month for years rather than pay $250,000 to have a project completed in 6 months. The government for one loses their annual budget if they don't spend it - so spend it they will, come hell or high water. It astounds me at how many project dollars are wasted on things like this. You should always use the right tools for the right job - sometimes this decision is not in your hands. Sometimes it comes down from on high that "thou shalt use X technology" for this project, leaving you thinking "WTF! Who came up with that ridiculous idea?"... the guy paying your paycheque, that's who, now get it done. Programming ideology comes first and foremost, everything else is secondary. In reality, deadlines and business objectives need to be met in order to get your paycheque. Sometimes you make the worst decisions because you just don't have time to do it the right way... just as sometimes that word is on the tip of your tongue but the minute it takes to recall it makes you choose a different and less ideal word. There isn't always time to do it right, sometimes there is only time to do it - however that may be. Hence oft' seen anti-patterns used by so called experienced developers who have to knock out a solution to a problem 10 minutes before the presentation deadline for the software being delivered to your best client tomorrow.

在不浪费字节和CPU周期的情况下编写高效的程序是非常重要的。

但随着经验的积累，它与字节或CPU周期无关，它与你的思想流有关，连续的，不间断的，就像一首诗。

本质上，不要太努力。

我曾经认为我永远不会像微软开发人员那样编程，但现在我认为我可以写同样干净的代码，甚至更好。
