Indications of a Lazy Software Developer

You know what? There's this saying in computing:
"The lazier it is, the better."
but it doesn't mean that the lazier the programmer, the better he/she is. What it really mean is that, every software should be written as efficient as possible. But that's not what this topic is all about. This post is about the literal meaning of tardiness. lol. Anyway, I will be pointing out two very simple indicators that can identify a lazy software developer.
  1. He/she loves to sing "The Lazy Song" of Bruno Mars. Yeah, everybody seems to really like that song. For once in a while there's this moment in our lives when we really feel lazy. But if you know someone who sings that song with all of his/her heart, then I think that's a good indication.

  2. He/she loves to watch the movie "Office Space". In the movie, there's this Technology company which have software developer employees. Maybe you already know what an "annoying boss" means right? That's what exactly the movie is all about. It's about software guys being pushed by annoying bosses. With that, the main character wants to find a way to go to work everyday feeling "just fishing all-day".

     Until such time, he doesn't give a f*ck to his boss anymore.

    If you know someone who keeps watching this movie, then you know why he/she does that. :-)

Well obviously, this post was written by the author. If you know what I mean. lol
