Obviously I'm lazy, isn't it? At the same time if I see nice way to make easier some complex stuff I do frequently I do it, find it exciting, enjoyable and I don't procrastinate. So? I'm unlazy at the same time. That's the effect of being inteligent and lazy at the same time.

Such lazy code tends to be so DRY, as he wrote and as code is DRYer it is more readable as well. About dumb, it's very similar. Guy you ask so elementar questions. It's all so obvious. So many people would say he's dumb, even take it personaly. If he doesn't use word dumb, that fact wouldn't be emphasized so nice.
