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。

C/ c++中if语句的求值顺序是特定于编译器的。所以写作:

if (pointer != NULL) && (pointer->doSomething())

是不安全的,因为可以交换求值顺序。我最近发现(在多年的谎言之后),它是ANSI-C规范的一部分,您可以保证订单和它的完全安全。

我一直认为,任何为任何语言编写任何代码的人都会使用编辑程序。

I was working with a client of mine who had me on mostly as support and to write some of the more complex things for him. Well one day he messed up a file, big time. He accidentally saved over three hours worth of his own work, and when I asked him why he didn't save more often he replied with, "because I wasn't done". Naturally, this was not an acceptable answer, and I poked and prodded a little further. I eventually came to find out that he he has never used any editing program, EVER! Not even notepad.exe! He had been using an online CPanel editor for files! It didn't even have a 'Find' function. He couldn't ever save until he was done because he was editing the live file on the site!

不用说,我很惊讶,他至今仍在使用CPanel编辑器……

我相信创建程序就像在课堂上教的一样……你和一群人坐在一起,讨论一个问题,想出一个解决方案,等等。相反,现实世界是“这是我的问题,我需要解决它,开始”,十分钟后你又遇到了另一个问题,让你没有真正的时间来有效地计划解决方案。

没有bug的软件是可能的。

我认为编写足够好的软件是一项简单的任务

编程很简单。
