　　The Problem Solver

　　问题解决者

　　The problem solver is goal-oriented and ruthlessly pragmatic. A well-defined problem will be solved, and solved quickly by whatever means necessary.

　　问题解决者是目标驱动的，冷酷的实用主义者。每个有明确定义的问题都会被他解决，诡异地不择手段地解决。

　　Becoming a Good Programmer

　　成为一个优秀的程序员

　　Of course, programmers don’t neatly fit into these four arbitrary categories. The point is that there are different ways to be a good programmer, and as a programmer, take the time to nurture all four of these types of programmers in yourself. You are a good programmer when, for any given situation, you are able to summon the appropriate “inner programmer”.

　　当然，不可能每个程序员都能简单地对号入座。重点是，优秀的途径有很多种。作为一个程序员，这四种人才都需要大力培养。当你面对任何困境，都能找到合适的人来解决，这才是真正的优秀。
