如何通过不编程成为一个好的程序员

在daily hack news看到推荐的一篇文章，原文是比较老的，2007年，How To Become a Better Programmer by Not Programming。

摘录里面的几句话：

• 对于Does accumulating experience through the years necessarily make programming easier?盖茨的回答如下：




• I think after the first three or four years, it's pretty cast in concrete whether you're a good programmer or not.


• 3-4年既可以看出来你是否是个好的程序员，编程经验的积累并不能让编程更加容易

• The older I get, the more I believe that the only way to become a better programmer is by not programming. You have to come up for air, put down the compiler for a moment, and take stock of what you're really doing. Code is important, but it's a small part of the overall process.




• 你需要离开电脑一会，仔细思量你做的东西，代码很重要，但只是整个过程的一小部分




• To truly become a better programmer, you have to to cultivate passion for everything else that goes on around the programming.




• 将热情倾注到编程相关的所有事情上去




• You won't-- you cannot-- become a better programmer through sheer force of programming alone. You can only complement and enhance your existing programming skills by branching out. Learn about your users. Learn about the industry. Learn about your business.The more things you are interested in, the better your work will be.




• 加入纯粹靠编程，你不可能成为一个更好的程序员


• 了解你的用户，了解业界，了解你的生意，你感兴趣的事情越多，你的工作将会越美好
