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。

我写的所有东西在可预见的未来都会失败。

并不是说一切最终都不会崩溃,而是在我的编程教育早期,当我发现try. catch块…我把所有的东西都包在里面....有些事情,如果失败了,将代表比我的程序处理的更大的问题(例如,北极和南极互换了位置)。

让非程序员明白我在说什么。

My co-workers were/are producing supposedly bad code because they sucked/suck. It took me a while to learn that I should first check what really happened. Most of the times, bad code was caused by lack of management, customers who didn't want to check what they really wanted and started changing their minds like there's no tomorrow, or other circunstances out of anyone's control, like economic crysis. Customers demand "for yesterday" features because they are stupid: Not really. It's about communication. If someone tells them it everything can really be done in 1 week, guess what? they'll want it in 1 week. "Never change code that works". This is not a good thing IMO. You obviously don't have to change what's really working. However, if you never change a piece of code because it's supposedly working and it's too complex to change, you may end up finding out that code isn't really doing what it's supposed to do. Eg: I've seen a sales commission calculation software doing wrong calculations for two years because nobody wanted to maintain the software. Nobody at sales knew about it. The formula was so complex they didn't really know how to check the numbers.

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。

我认为要提高数据库性能,我所需要做的就是将数据库转换为第三范式。

对Unicode的全面支持是成功将软件部署到亚洲地区的先决条件。
