Java很慢。这么多perl粉丝在slashdot上反刍(sp??)这很可悲。

您无法诊断生产中的“间歇性错误”。重新启动服务器是解决这个问题的唯一方法。

也许在我早期的ASP编码中更真实。但是有很多很好的分析工具可以发现内存泄漏和其他奇怪的问题。Perfmon还提供了许多良好的诊断数据。另外，您应该在应用程序中编写诊断日志。

一个WTF总是一个糟糕专业的证据。

事实上，我最近才意识到在我的职业生涯中有多少WTF，但当StackOverflow告诉我它们只是另一个软件指标时，我感到欣慰。

我很早就开始学习编程了。那时我14岁左右。我有各种疯狂的想法，但不要问我准确的时间，因为那是很久以前的事了。

Ok, so, I believed for a while that if you use the term synchronize in Java, then Java solves this nasting synchronizing thing for you I believed for at least half a year, likely more, that static typing would improve performance. I believed that freeing something would return memory back to the OS. I believed that malloc calls boil down to checking if there is enough free space on the OS, so malloc would be inexpensive. I thought a long while that Java was built with all the benefits and flaws of the other languages in mind, into a "perfect blend" that would take the best properties of the other languages and reject the mistakes. I vastly overestimated the number of cases where LinkedLists outperform ArrayLists. I thought that NP-hardness was a proof that no INSTANCE could be solved efficiently, which is trivially false, for a while. I thought that finding the best flight-plan on travel agency web sites would take so long because of the "Travelling Salesman Problem", as I proudly chuckled to my relatives (when I was small, alright?!)

还能想出更多。不知道我坚持了多久。对不起。

PS: 啊，好吧，这个被清除得并不慢，但我看到新手时不时地这样做，所以我想你可能会感兴趣:我还认为要存储不确定数量的东西，你需要为每个东西声明一个新变量。所以我要创建变量a1 a2 a3…，而不是使用一个变量a，我将它声明为一个向量。

人们知道他们想要什么。

在很长一段时间里，我以为我会和人们交谈，他们会描述一个问题或工作流程，我将其放入代码并自动化。结果每次发生这种情况，他们以为自己想要的并不是他们真正想要的。

Edit: I agree with most of the comments. This is not a technical answer and may not be what the questioner was looking for. It doesn't apply only to programming. I'm sure it's not my longest-held assumption either, but it was the most striking thing I've learned in the 10 short years I've been doing this. I'm sure it was pure naivete on my part but the way my brain is/was wired and the teaching and experiences I had prior to entering the business world led me to believe that I would be doing what I answered; that I would be able to use code and computers to fix people's problems.

我想这个答案类似于Robin关于非程序员理解/关心我所谈论的内容的回答。这是关于将业务作为一个敏捷的、迭代的、交互的过程来学习。它是关于学习编程猴子和软件开发人员之间的区别。这是关于意识到两者之间的区别，并且在该领域真正优秀，不仅仅是语法和输入速度。

编辑:这个答案现在是社区-wiki，以安抚人们对这个答案感到不安，给我代表。

我应该一直优化我的代码。这并不是说我在写之前不应该仔细考虑，而是说我应该努力思考如何从每个语句中挤出每一点性能，甚至牺牲可读性。
