What Makes a Good Programmer In a Nutshell

Why Good Programmers Are Lazy and Dumb:

Lazy, because only lazy programmers will want to write the kind of tools that might replace them in the end.

Second (and I will elaborate a bit more on this because I find the concept to be less known than the first) a good programmer must be dumb. Why? Because if he’s smart, and he knows he is smart, he will:

a) stop learning
b) stop being critical towards his own work
