程序员的三大优点：懒惰、急躁和傲慢

• 懒惰激励他寻找自动化任务的方法，避免不必要的工作；
• 急躁使他想快速高效地完成事情；

• 而傲慢使他有信心应对困难的问题。

“We will encourage you to develop the three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris.”

These virtues are elaborated on as follows:

Laziness

The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don’t have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue of a programmer. Also hence, this book. See also impatience and hubris. (p.609)

Impatience

The anger you feel when the computer is being lazy. This makes you write programs that don’t just react to your needs, but actually anticipate them. Or at least pretend to. Hence, the second great virtue of a programmer. See also laziness and hubris. (p.608)

Hubris

Excessive pride, the sort of thing Zeus zaps you for. Also the quality that makes you write (and maintain) programs that other people won’t want to say bad things about. Hence, the third great virtue of a programmer. See also laziness and impatience. (p.607)
