Why Good Programmers Are Lazy and Dumb:mad:

[furtivefelon]

erm.. no, lazy meant to write less code, good programmers actually are interested in programming believe it or not.. they won't be lazy on finding better ways of programming one program, but they will be lazy when it comes to writing redudent code (the write obviously is not a good programmer, if he is one at all..)..

nuts, i'm not going to comment on all of the stuff... that's the biggest bunch of ******** i have heard in a while..

I think that the idea is sort of right, but his terminology sucked. You want to be an efficient (lazy) and versatile (unlazy) coder and approach problems simply (dumbly) first rather than complexly. You also need to be willing to learn (ties back to versatile), to make mistakes, and to be critical of your work (ties back to efficiency).

He sounds like one of those guys that thinks or just calls himself dumb, but is really more of a smart-***. Reminds me of me when I was just getting out of High School (the thinking I'm dumb part not the smart-*** part, I'll always be a smart-***).
