That’s only the first stage. Once you get tired enough you start writing code that not even you can understand the next morning, but which you’re loathe to change because “it just works”.

Yeah I’ve had that experience too. But sometimes I write a lot of hackish code to get it to work, and then after spend time rewriting it so it’s easy to understand. But it depends on mood. Sometimes I don’t change it because it’s complicated and it would be too much thinking required to make it better. :)

  Lazy is right. Spending fifty hours to automate a task that doesn’t take even five minutes is commonplace.
  
  It takes laziness to new, artful heights.

    wouldn’t doing significantly more work than necessary be the opposite of laziness?
