Hi.


Who are you?


Caveats!


Why?


Not a bad thing!


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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wall


“Progress isn't made by early risers. It's
made by lazy men trying to find easier
ways to do something.”

Robert A. Heinlein
