作为一个新手，我有一个假设，在这个领域工作多年的人自然是更好的开发人员。

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.

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.

除了插入/冒泡排序之外，任何事情都是非常简单的黑魔法。

在c++中，很长一段时间我都在想编译器在给纯虚方法定义时拒绝你。

当我意识到我错了时，我很吃惊。

很多次，当我告诉别人为其抽象类提供其纯虚析构函数的默认实现时，他/她都用大大的眼睛看着我。我知道接下来会有一场长时间的讨论……这似乎在c++初学者中是一个普遍的信念(我认为我自己也是如此)。我目前还在学习!)

不是持有时间最长的，但在某一时刻，有几年的时间，我:

以为微软Windows是世界上唯一的操作系统(那是1992年) 了解DOS对于拥有“高级”操作系统知识已经足够了。

这就是为什么我在高中没有选择“计算机课程”。我以为我对计算机已经了解得够多了。

后来在大学里，出于我的错误:

我认为UNIX操作系统/程序是完美的，DOS/Windows永远不会接近它(那时候看起来很真实，我猜Linus也是这么想的，这就是为什么Linux和UNIX如此相似，而不是。其他操作系统)

最后，在很长一段时间里，我想:

只有我的软件很糟糕，而商业软件是完美无缺的，因为……它是“商业”软件 美国的软件/工程师/产品是优秀的同义词，其他的都只是糟糕的尝试。
