读《why programs fail》的闲话

   发现《why programs fail》有一些很特别的话。有些调试方法确实经典，还是写好自己的junit吧。

调试的六个阶段：

1.这不可能发生在我身上

2.它没有发生在我的机器上

3.它不该发生

4.它为什么会发生

5.哦，这样子啊

6.他以前怎么不出错

这个真像那个为什么程序不可以运行? 为什么程序可以运行了？！

 

向后看才能理解生活，要生活好,必须向前看———丹麦哲学家克尔恺郭尔。

程序出错可以回滚或者重做，你的人生却不能这样。

爸爸他们怎么知道这座桥的最大载重量？

他们开着越来越重的卡车，直达它塌了，最后称一下卡车的重量，重新建一座桥就行了。

还有摘自网上的《the blue day book》的一段：

On blue days you feel like you are floating in an ocean of sadness.
