不要使用高级的特定于实现的特性，因为你可能“有时”想要切换实现。我这样做了一次又一次，几乎无一例外地，这种转换从未发生过。

运行时性能很重要。总解决时间通常是最重要的。

自从学习python之后，我已经摆脱了对静态类型的依赖。

I thought I'd be coding for 8 hours straight. Realistically, I get 4 hours a day of coding, 1 hour for lunch, 1 for coffee breaks, and 2 for screwing around / chit chatting/ stack over and under flowing. Prior to working, I thought that all clients would be idiots and don't know two craps about computers. Boy was I wrong on that one. Sometimes, we get projects by people who can do it better than we can, they just don't have the time to do it. I thought cubicles were bad, Right now I love them :D I actually moved from a door-ed office to a cubicle. I like the openness. All programmers are not athletic. I thought that I was the only one that goes to the gym. Where I work, at least 10 of us go to the gym every day at 5 am. I thought there would be no women programmers. A couple of our leads are ladies.

这种编程是不可能的。

不是开玩笑的，我一直认为编程是一种不可能学会的东西，我总是远离它。当我接近代码的时候，我永远也无法理解它。

然后有一天，我坐下来阅读了一些基本的初学者教程，并从那里开始学习。现在我是一名程序员，我热爱工作的每一分钟。

另外，我认为编程并不容易，它是一个挑战，我更喜欢学习，没有什么比解决一些编程问题更有趣的了。

640K应该足够任何人(DOS)。多年来，很多人都相信这一点。

当我第一次拥有8MB内存的系统时，我认为这远远超过了我的需求。它可以运行操作系统(Mac)以及我使用的所有应用程序(Word、Email、Firefox等)。

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.
