作为一名老的过程式程序员，当我第一次开始为一个业余项目用Java编程时，我并不真正理解OO。编写了大量的代码，却没有真正理解接口的意义，试图通过将所有东西都强制放到继承层次结构中来最大化代码重用——当一个层次结构无法容纳清理时，希望Java具有多重继承。我的代码成功了，但我现在对早期的东西感到畏缩。

When I started reading about dynamic languages and trying to figure out a good one to learn, reading about Python's significant whitespace turned me off - I was convinced that I would hate that. But when I eventually learned Python, it became something I really like. We generally make the effort in whatever language to have consistent indent levels, but get nothing for it in return (other than the visual readability). In Python, I found that I wasn't doing any more effort than I had before with regard to indent levels, and Python handled what I'd been having to use braces or whatever for in other languages. It makes Python feel cleaner to me now.

用汇编语言进行优化=重写。

When I first really understood assembly (coming from BASIC) it seemed that the only way to make code run faster was to rewrite it in assembly. Took quite a few years to realize that compilers can be very good at optimization and especially with CPUs with branch prediction etc they can probably do a better job than a human can do in a reasonable amount of time. Also that spending time on optimizing the algorithm is likely to give you a better win than spending time converting from a high to a low level language. Also that premature optimization is the root of all evil...

创建一个成功的应用程序只需要程序员就可以轻松完成。软件也要易于使用，美观，文档和适当的营销。软件开发是多学科的，如果一门学科不及格，应用程序也可能会失败。

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。

XML将是一种真正可互操作的、人类可读的数据格式。

以某种方式，一个运营大量相当高调/高流量网站的公司实际上知道他们在做什么。结果他们在很大程度上毫无头绪，而且非常幸运地处于他们所处的位置。所以我想寓意是，

可靠的软件工程和最佳实践=业务成功

还是……

大多数关键的软件系统==垃圾
