“Oh, the best thing about Thaler, what really makes him special, is that he is lazy.”
I don't remember the source, but isn't laziness, impatience and hubris considered the three programmers' virtues. Lazy programmers automate tasks, write reusable code and invest considerable effort in finding more efficient solution to problems that ultimately save them time and effort. Impatience programmers often find quicker and more efficient solutions to common problems. Hubris leads to finding solutions to problems once consider impossible to solve.
