给未来IT工程师们的10条骨灰级建议

Coding

写代码

Code. A lot. Schools are great at theory, but not so much at practical stuff. This is especially true at the top universities. Professors are academics and are often actually hostile to more "practical" forms of education. The best way to be a great coder is to just practice —a lot. It doesn't matter so much what you code (open source, iPhone apps, etc.) as long as you're coding and pushing yourself.

写代码，写很多代码。学校对研究学术很在行，但在实际运用方面有软肋。这一点在顶尖高校里最明显。讲师往往是学院派，经常会对所谓的实用教育抱有些敌意。成为好码农的最好方法就是练习，大量的练习。不管你写什么代码（开源、iPhone应用等），只要在写代码，你就会有进步。

Be language agnostic. Language is just a tool. It's valuable to know a language deeply, but it's also valuable to be learning new things. The best developers tend not to identify as a developer.

别太介意语言。语言只是一个工具，当然掌握一门语言意义非凡，不过学习新事物也是同等重要。一流的开发者不会认为自己只是个开发者的。

Career choices

职业选择方面

Prestige helps. Having a strong name on your resume helps open doors and show competence. If you can get a name like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Dropbox, etc., do it. (But don't stay long. See the next tip.)
