    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. :)

    Programmers are often lazy by nature…

      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.
