这绝对是主观的，但我想尽量避免它变成争论。我认为如果人们恰当地对待它，这将是一个有趣的问题。
这个问题的想法来自于我对“你最讨厌的语言的哪五件事?”问题的回答。我认为c#中的类在默认情况下应该是密封的——我不会把我的理由放在这个问题上，但我可能会写一个更完整的解释来回答这个问题。我对评论中的讨论热度感到惊讶(目前有25条评论)。
那么，你有什么有争议的观点?我宁愿避免那些基于相对较少的基础而导致相当宗教的事情(例如，大括号放置)，但例如可能包括“单元测试实际上并没有多大帮助”或“公共字段确实是可以的”之类的事情。重要的是(至少对我来说)你的观点背后是有理由的。
请提出你的观点和理由——我鼓励人们投票给那些有充分论证和有趣的观点，不管你是否恰好同意这些观点。

代码越少越好!
如果用户说“就这样?”，而你的工作仍然是隐形的，那么你的工作就做对了。荣耀可以在其他地方找到。

软件开发只是一份工作
不要误解我，我非常喜欢软件开发。在过去的几年里，我写了一篇关于这个主题的博客。我在这里花了足够的时间获得了5000声望点。我在一家初创公司工作，通常每周工作60个小时，工资比我作为承包商的工资要少得多，因为团队很棒，工作很有趣。
但从大局来看，这只是一份工作。
它的重要性低于许多事情，如家庭、女朋友、朋友、幸福等，也低于其他如果我有无限的现金供应，我宁愿做的事情，如骑摩托车、驾驶游艇或滑雪。
我认为有时候许多开发者忘记了开发只是让我们拥有生活中更重要的东西(通过做一些我们喜欢的事情来拥有它们)，而不是最终目标本身。
德尔菲很有趣
是的，我知道它已经过时了，但是Delphi是一个非常有趣的开发工具。
和这里的大多数人一样，我尽量遵循DRY和不做人工编译器等原则。
我想推广的另一个策略是“告诉，不要问”。而不是混乱的所有对象与getter /setter本质上是他们的筛子，我想告诉他们做一些事情。
这似乎直接违背了具有愚蠢实体对象和较厚服务层的良好企业实践(这需要大量的请求)。嗯,想法?
生成文档良好的代码比生成文档不良的代码花费的时间更少
When I say well-documented I mean with comments that communicate your intention clearly at every step. Yes, typing comments takes some time. And yes, your coworkers should all be smart enough to figure out what you intended just by reading your descriptive function and variable names and spelunking their way through all your executable statements. But it takes more of their time to do it than if you had just explained your intentions, and clear documentation is especially helpful when the logic of the code turns out to be wrong. Not that your code would ever be wrong...
I firmly believe that if you time it from when you start a project to when you ship a defect-free product, writing well-documented code takes less time. For one thing, having to explain clearly what you're doing forces you to think it through clearly, and if you can't write a clear, concise explanation of what your code is accomplishing then it's probably not designed well. And for another purely selfish reason, well-documented and well-structured code is far easier to dump onto someone else to maintain - thus freeing the original author to go create the next big thing. I rarely if ever have to stop what I'm doing to explain how my code was meant to work because it's blatantly obvious to anyone who can read English (even if they can't read C/C++/C# etc.). And one more reason is, frankly, my memory just isn't that good! I can't recall what I had for breakfast yesterday, much less what I was thinking when I wrote code a month or a year ago. Perhaps your memory is far better than mine, but because I document my intentions I can quickly pick up wherever I left off and make changes without having to first figure out what I was thinking when I wrote it.
这就是为什么我能很好地编写文档——不是因为我觉得编写适合展示的漂亮代码是一种崇高的使命，也不是因为我是一个纯粹主义者，而只是因为端到端让我在更短的时间内发布高质量的软件。
为了生产优秀的软件，你需要领域专家和优秀的开发人员一样多。
