我曾经认为我永远不会像微软开发人员那样编程，但现在我认为我可以写同样干净的代码，甚至更好。

我仍然对以下的一些误解感到困扰——尽管我知道这些误解是正确的，但我仍然试图抓住它们不放:

All stakeholders will make decisions about software design objectively. Those that aren't embroiled in writing the code make all sorts of decisions based entirely on emotion that don't always make sense to us developers. Project budgets always make sense - I've seen companies that are quite happy to drop [just for example] $50,000 a month for years rather than pay $250,000 to have a project completed in 6 months. The government for one loses their annual budget if they don't spend it - so spend it they will, come hell or high water. It astounds me at how many project dollars are wasted on things like this. You should always use the right tools for the right job - sometimes this decision is not in your hands. Sometimes it comes down from on high that "thou shalt use X technology" for this project, leaving you thinking "WTF! Who came up with that ridiculous idea?"... the guy paying your paycheque, that's who, now get it done. Programming ideology comes first and foremost, everything else is secondary. In reality, deadlines and business objectives need to be met in order to get your paycheque. Sometimes you make the worst decisions because you just don't have time to do it the right way... just as sometimes that word is on the tip of your tongue but the minute it takes to recall it makes you choose a different and less ideal word. There isn't always time to do it right, sometimes there is only time to do it - however that may be. Hence oft' seen anti-patterns used by so called experienced developers who have to knock out a solution to a problem 10 minutes before the presentation deadline for the software being delivered to your best client tomorrow.

人们实际上关心所使用的技术(开源/闭源)。

在编程的头几年，我没有意识到1kbyte在技术上是1024字节，而不是1000字节。我总是有点困惑，因为我的数据文件的大小似乎与我预期的稍有出入。

html元素id和name属性是可以互换的。

事实证明，带有'name'属性的元素是相关的/被使用的。引用post等和'id'属性用于DOM引用。

因为性能问题，像Java和。net这样的虚拟机架构对于除了玩具项目之外的任何东西都毫无价值。

(好吧，公平地说，也许在某些时候这是真的。)
