From b2: Of course, lazy programming is not the same as shitty programming.

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Nov 2 '17, 16:14

Lazy programming is about avoiding over engineering, keeping things simple, and keeping a firm eye on what the future holds. If you arrange the code just right, you can make it easier and faster to do great things, without a lot of exertion.

And, where appropriate, let someone else solve your problems. Open source libraries, licensed code, SaaS - if it makes you faster, it’s another tool for your lazy tool belt.
