Programmer Universalis

我也以為標題打錯字了
但是書裡面真的這樣寫,好像是某種拉丁文吧。

最近在讀Memory Dump Analysis Anthology
書裡的一段話和心裡一直尋覓的境界非常契合:

It's very good to be able to understand and even write everything
from GUI down to machine language instructions or up. Certainly
understanding how software works at every level is very helpful...(略)
Debugging is not about stepping through the code.
This is a very narrow view of a specialist programmer. Programmer
Universalis can do debugging at every possible level and therefore can
write any possible software layer.

軟體之道 手中無劍、心中有劍

不是不需要使用武器。
而是經過了千錘百鍊,所有的東西都可以是武器。
