這不是一本教你寫程式的書，而是一個軟體工程師用十年的真實經歷，帶你從那聲「嗶」開始，重新認識你每天都在使用的數位世界。「嗶！」那一聲清脆的開機音，是我與電腦世界的初次相遇。第一次聽見那聲音，還以為是爆炸的前奏。後來我學會上網，投 10 塊錢換取 30 分鐘的電腦時光，在網咖打 CS 被爆頭；也曾帶 USB 到處傳播病毒，歷經了網頁綁架與無限重灌。直到親手刪除 System32，打出那通求救電話，我才終於明白，掌控電腦命脈的作業系統有多重要。 這些看似荒唐的過往，拼湊成了軟體工程師最真實的養成史。我將這 10 年的歷程，濃縮成 29 堂課。每堂課都以我的人生故事開場，進而延伸出背後的技術原理：從鍵盤為何不按 ABCDE 排列，一路聊到 AI 為什麼只是一台超大型接龍機。你可以把它當作一本有溫度的計算機概論，也可以視為一部工程師的青春回憶錄。這本書，是我在邁入工程師第十年時，按下暫停鍵，對自己人生進行的一次 Code Review。給正走在這條路上，或準備踏上這段旅程的你翻開這本書，你會發現：你永遠都不孤單。―― Ray（是 Ray，不是 Array）
