牛刀小试(第一部分)

 
  * Real Programmers don't write specs -- users should consider themselves
    lucky to get any programs at all and take what they get.
    翻译：真正的程序员不循规蹈矩，他们对用户说：拿到你想要的，然后滚蛋，
    你已经很幸运了！
  * Real Programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it
    should be hard to understand and even harder to modify.
    真正的程序员不写注释。难写的程序天生难以理解、难以修改。
  * Real Programmers don't write application programs; they program right down
    on the bare metal. Application programming is for feebs who can't do
    systems programming.
    真正的程序员不写应用程序。他们爱白手起家。只有不懂写系统程序的
    软弱者才写应用程序。
  * Real Programmers don't eat quiche. In fact, real programmers don't know
how
    to SPELL quiche. They eat Twinkies, and Szechwan food.
    真正的程序员不吃蛋卷。他们根本不屑也不懂拼“quiche（蛋卷）”这个词。
    他们吃twinkies和四川菜。
    注：twinkies可能是某种用两片面包片夹着的食物。
  * Real Programmers only write specs for languages that might run on future
    hardware. Noboby trusts them to write specs for anything homo sapiens will
    ever be able to fit on a single planet.
    真正的程序员只为未来机器上用的语言写标准。鬼才会相信有哪个星球会
    用他们的标准。
  * Real Programmers never program in COBOL, money is no object.
    真正的程序员不用cobol编程，金钱如粪土。
    注：不知所云！
  * Real Programmers never right justify text that will be read on a
    fixed-character-width medium.
    真正的程序员将文本写得错落有致。
  * Real Programmers wear hiking boots only when it's much too cold to wear
    sandals. When it's only too cold, they wear socks with their sandals.
    真正的程序员爱穿凉鞋，就算天气变冷，他们也只是再穿上袜子而已。
    只有寒风彻骨时，他们才会换上跑鞋。
  * Real Programmers don't think that they should get paid at all for their
    work, but they know that they're worth every penny that they do make.
    真正的程序员并不奢求取得每一分该得的钱，但任何拿到手的钱都
    问心无愧。
  * Real Programmers log in first thing in the morning, last thing before they
    go to sleep, and stay logged in for lots of time in between.
    真正的程序员每天只需记录起床后的第一件事和睡觉前的最后一件事，
    之间的一切照套模板即可。
  * Real programmers don't draw flowcharts. Flowcharts are after all, the
    illerate's form of documentation.
    真正的程序员不画流程图。流程图是文盲写的文档。
  * Real Programmers don't use Macs. Computers which draw cute little pictures
    真正的程序员不用MAC机。能画可爱的卡通的电脑是给胆小鬼用的。
  * Real Programmers don't read manuals. Reliance on a reference is the
    hallmark of a novice and a coward.
    真正的程序员不看使用指南。只有初学者和胆小鬼会百分百相信手册。
  * Real Programmers don't write in COBOL. COBOL is for gum chewing twits who
    maintain ancient payroll programs.
    真正的程序员不用cobol。cobol只能用来维护远古的工资程序。
  * Real Programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for wimpy engineers
who
    wear white socks. The get excited over finite state analysis and nuclear
    reactor simulations.
    真正的程序员不写fortran程序。fortran是让畏缩的白领工程师用的。
    那些人只钟情于有限的状态分析和核反应堆模拟。
  * Real Programmers don't write in Modula-2. Modula-2 is for insecure
    analretentives who can't choose between Pascal and COBOL.
    真正的程序员不用modula-2编程。modula-2集合了pascal和cobol的缺点。
  * Real Programmers don't write in APL, unless the whole program can be
    written on one line.
    真正的程序员不写apl程序，除非他能在一行内把一个程序写完。
