现在已经生成了gitbook，适合阅读，并且可以方便地导出PDF。

如果你想要一起来改进这份翻译，可以给我提PR，不过希望翻译时尽量保持作者的原意。

文章中出现的一些词汇往往有特殊的含义，可以在4-词汇表找到注释。

　　做一个好的程序员,困难而高尚。将一个软件工程集体愿景变为现实，最困难的地方在于与你的同事和顾客相处。编程很重要，这需要强大的智力和技能。 但在好的程序员看来，相比构建一个让客户和各种各样的同事都满意的软件系统，（纯粹的）编程真的只是小孩子的玩意。在这篇文章里，我尝试尽可能简洁地总结那些当我21岁时，希望别人告诉我的事。

　　这可能很主观的，所以，这篇文章注定不适用于所有人，并且有的内容有点武断。我尽量写一些程序员在ta的工作中，非常可能会遇到的事情。大部分这些问题以及它们的解决方案在人们的环境中如此普遍，以至于我(说的)可能有点唠叨。尽管如此，我还是希望这篇文章是有用的。

　　我们在课堂上学习编程。 那些著作: The Pragmatic Programmer [Prag99], Code Complete [CodeC93], Rapid Development [RDev96], 以及 Extreme Programming Explained [XP99] 都传授编程（知识），并阐述做一个好的程序员这个大话题。 在读这篇文章之前，或者就是现在，你当然也应该读一读Paul Graham [PGSite] 和 Eric Raymond [Hacker] 的文章。 但与那些著作不同，这篇文章强调社交问题并且总结了整套我所知的必须的技能。

　　在这篇文章里，boss这个词指的是任何一个交给你工程去做的人。 除了一些语境外，我会同义地使用交易，公司，集体这些词，比如，交易意味着赚钱，公司意味着现代的工作空间，集体一般是那些你一起工作的人。

　　欢迎来到这个群体。
