“这个项目将在两周内完成”

and

“这需要2个小时才能实现”

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……

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?”

总有一天，我会有一个现实的想法，那就是构建一些重要的代码/系统/什么的需要多长时间。

通过学习一门精确的科学，我不需要提高我有限的社交技能。

经理们知道他们在说什么。
