Larry Wall, inventor of Perl: "We will encourage you to develop the three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris.", "Programming Perl", 1ed 2ed says: "Laziness The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue of a programmer. Also hence, this book." Some discussion at https://wiki.c2.com/?LazinessImpatienceHubris https://wiki.c2.com/?LazinessImpatienceHubris
