I feel like I am maybe "lazy" sometime because I avoid doing work because I know how painful it's going to be to get from working to "done". It just often doesn't seem worth the effort. When I work outside the constraints of my day job, programming is a fun creative pastime that makes the hours fly by. Last night I was up until 4am just hacking on something I was interested in. I honestly didn't notice the time go by (probably not healthy, but hey I was having a lot of fun so it's fine for me) The engineers I really respect often say similar things. There seems to be a gatekeeping class of software engineer who've been overfed on design patterns and enterprise software dogma that suck the fun out of it in big teams.
