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)。

软件的质量会带来更大的销量。有时确实如此,但并非总是如此。

销售人员实际地管理顾客的期望。(接受过承诺不足和超额交付的培训)

软件需求通常来自市场调查。

我想说的是,将日期的year元素存储为2位数字是一种困扰整个一代开发人员的假设。在千年虫问题上浪费的钱是相当可怕的。

我记得我10岁的时候,有人让我相信,将来会有一种计算机能够在3秒内运行一个无限循环。

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.
