There is one magical thing you need to know when reading this book: It's all
|
|
|
|
|
personal opinion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- more -->
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A lot of stuff I'm going to discuss throughout this book will come directly
|
|
|
|
|
from my personal experience in several projects -- system applications, web
|
|
|
|
|
backend, embedded, mobile, stream processing -- in several different languages
|
|
|
|
|
-- C, C++, Python, Java, Clojure, Rust. And, because it comes from personal
|
|
|
|
|
experience, everything reflects my own personal opinion on several subjects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obviously, you don't need to agree with every single point. But I hope at
|
|
|
|
|
least it will make you rethink a few subjects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, sometimes I may mention some examples that people who know me -- either
|
|
|
|
|
worked with me, heard me complain about some project, inherit one of my
|
|
|
|
|
projects, _I_ inherit one of the _their_ projects -- may recognized and think
|
|
|
|
|
I'm attacking the author.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We do mistakes. Sometimes we don't know the topic with are attacking,
|
|
|
|
|
sometimes we don't have full specs, sometimes we don't have the time to write
|
|
|
|
|
things properly in a crunchtime. And that's why some things don't look as
|
|
|
|
|
pretty as they should. Heck, if you think I'm attacking the original author of
|
|
|
|
|
some example, look back the stuff I wrote and you'll see things a lot worse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But I need the example. I have this hope that showing people a few mistakes
|
|
|
|
|
can make things better. I want to show people how my opinion built over
|
|
|
|
|
some subject. And, again, I'm in no way attacking the original author of the
|
|
|
|
|
code. I may even call the code "stupid", but I'm not calling the author
|
|
|
|
|
_stupid_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With that in mind...
