Work on stuff that matters:

• work on something that matters to you more than money
• create more value than you capture
• take the long view.

前段时间, 看新闻说“微软4万多的软件开发工程师, 每天产生进3万个BUG”, 当时感觉有点震惊, 然后就哑然失笑. 震惊的是连微软这样厉害的公司, 工程师应该都很优秀, 人才济济, 为何却会每天产生这么多的BUG了? 于是,再想想自己的开发经历, 才恍然明白: 开发人员一旦走进办公室,打开电脑写代码, 就不可避免的要写出BUG来. 与BUG纠缠不清似乎是每个开发人员的宿命.恰逢最近遇到了一个BUG, 让我纠结不已, 痛定思痛, 觉得有必要把自己的开发”心得经验”写下来, 权当是给自己一点警醒, 给自己一点回顾的资料, 分享下自己在开发过程中遇到的困难与挫折, 苦恼与迷惑.
