Bill Gates said, "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." What's a real-life example of this?

    You know when you’re at work and you’re like “This is so stupid, why do we do this this way??”

    That’s my whole career now, and they call it consulting.

    Makes sense. Windows kind of felt like it was built by a lazy person in the 90’s.

      Still feels that way, today it feels like it is built by a lazy, stupid and greedy people. With all those bugs, bloat and now even built-in ads, and much worse… spyware.
