I miss when programmers were lazy.

Summary

The main theme is the paradoxical virtues of laziness, impatience, and hubris in programmers, which drive them to automate and improve systems. Key references include programmer Brian Cantrell and his article "The Peril of Laziness Lost," discussing how these traits, especially laziness, lead to better, more resilient software. The takeaway is that while AI is changing how we code, these core virtues remain crucial for creating high-quality, maintainable solutions, and addressing inefficiencies like slow CI times is essential.
