The other secret of good engineers is that it takes the same amount of time to write good code as it does to write bad code.

软件开发界的另外一个小秘密是：编写优秀代码和糟糕代码所花费的时间是一样多。

For example, Ruby is interpreted, which means that you can iteratively write code, hit the refresh button in the browser to see your changes, write more code, refresh again, and so on.

例如，Ruby通过解释方式执行，这意味着您可以采用迭代方式工作：编写代码，单击浏览器中的“刷新”按钮查看更改，编写更多的代码，再次刷新，如此往复。

Then you write XS code that xsubpp uses to write C code that understands all the Perl variable conversions and such.

然后再编写 XS 代码（ xsubpp 用此代码来编写可以兼容所有 Perl 变量转换和诸如此类事情的 C 语言代码）。

We want to write a piece of code that helps these guys out, so I'm going to show you an example.

通过写一段代码,来解决一个这样的问题，接下来让我们来看个例子。

That is if I can write code that would solve all instances of smaller size strings, then what I just described isPalindrome will solve the larger size one.

然后我会描述如何处理大字符串,事实上这正是我所做的，我希望你能看看这边的这段代码,就是这个。

You write the source code, the stuff that looks like this and then you save your file, and now you just have a text file.

比如你们写出像这样的源代码后,保存，你将会得到一个文本文件。

Just as software code is not patentable, because there are so many ways to write code that does the same thing, you should be patenting the application, the method for doing something, not a specific relationship between hardware and software.

FORBES: The Big Fix #3: How To Untangle The Mess With Software Patents

It took Schaeffer only five months to analyze the setup and write code that would let him, from his laptop, tell the Scada system to open and close enough breakers to bring down the mock utility--without letting the legitimate operator see what was going on.

But when programmers write new code to insert into existing code, that can take hours.
