Problems with Linus are to be expected... Posted Feb 10, 2006 17:33 UTC (Fri) by sammythesnake (guest, #17693) [Link] It's true that "laziness" is a key feature of Linus' character, but I submit that it's a good thing, given that it's generally quite well marshalled. Laziness leads (via wisdom) to efficiency, and the evidence so far seems to be that Linus' laziness has actually had exactly that effect! :)
I remember reading in some o'reiley book that the three most important characteristics to have as a programmer included Hubris and Laziness (couldn't remember the third, but http://www.io.com/~shiva/ninevirtues.html suggests impatience)
Cheers & God bless
