我正在对初级(也许是高级)软件工程师所犯的常见错误和错误假设进行一些研究。

你坚持时间最长、最终被纠正的假设是什么?

例如,我误解了整数的大小不是标准的,而是取决于语言和目标。说起来有点尴尬,但事实就是这样。

坦率地说;你有什么坚定的信念?你大概坚持了多长时间?它可以是关于一种算法、一种语言、一个编程概念、测试,或者任何关于编程、编程语言或计算机科学的东西。

XML名称空间(或者更糟,格式良好)在某种程度上比没有它们要困难得多。

一个非常常见的错误,甚至在W3C!

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……

代码越少越好。现在我知道,有时候如果代码行数更多,就更容易阅读/理解,这是值得的

我曾经认为编写Win32应用程序就足够了。

而且每个程序都必须有一个GUI,因为命令行已经“过时”了。

我知道要编写一个合适的web应用程序,当我必须设计在所有浏览器上都能运行的东西时,我很清楚这一点。

让非程序员明白我在说什么。
