在学校里，你被教导编程是“读取输入，处理数据，写输出”。实际上，很少有处理步骤——大多数编码只是“读取输入，输出”。

一般来说，它要么是“从用户读取，写入数据库”，要么是“从数据库读取，显示在屏幕上”。这两种情况涵盖了大约95%的工作。

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.

在初中学习算法的时候，我认为NPC只是一个非多项式问题，这意味着这个问题的复杂性并不比多项式简单。直到我在大学里学了计算理论，我才意识到我错了

字节和字符实际上是一回事——“ASCII”只是将字节值映射到屏幕上的符号的一种方式。

阅读关于Unicode的文章真的让我大开眼界(尽管我仍然没有完全理解它)。

评论越多越好。我总是试图让我的代码尽可能具有可读性——主要是因为我几乎肯定是那个会修复我漏过的bug的人。所以在过去的几年里，我经常会收到一段又一段的评论。

最终，我明白了，有一个点，更多的评论——无论结构多么整齐——没有增加价值，实际上成为一个麻烦的维护。这些天，我采取了目录+脚注的方法，每个人都为此感到高兴。

选择和使用我们的开发方法是因为它们是最好的。

后来我发现，我们使用的工具对我们做什么、什么时候做、怎么做的影响比我想象的要大得多。
