On laziness

Larry Wall had it right when he said that laziness is one of the virtues of a good programmer. But he was talking about in the sense of using existing code and not creating the wheel over and over. Laziness can apply just to a clean programming style. I visit old projects after several years and often thank myself for not taking short cuts when I wrote the code. It is nice when some parameter is a #define up top and not some constant scattered here and there. Things like that.
