Thus spake the master programmer:
The programmer said:
"When you have learned to snatch the error code from the trap frame, it will be time for you to leave ."
"When you take the crystal ball from my hand, it's time you leave ."
1.1
Something mysterious is formed, born in the silent void. waiting alone and unmoving, it is at once still and yet in constant motion. it is the source of all programs. I do not know its name, so I will call it the tao of programming.
A mysterious thing is born in the silent void. This kind of thing will never disappear, and it is the root of all programs. I don't know how to describe it, just call it a programming path.
If the tao is great, then the operating system is great. if the operating system is great, then the compiler is great. if the compiler is greater, then the applications is great. the user is pleased and there is harmony in the world.
If the channel is perfect, the operating system is perfect. If the operating system is perfect, the compilation is perfect. If the compilation is perfect, then the application is perfect, so the user is satisfied and the whole world is harmonious.
The tao of programming flows far away and returns on the wind of morning.
The way of programming goes like a yellow crane.
1.2

Daosheng machine language, machine language compilation.
