> An interesting thing about developers is that we are lazy, and prefe to write as few lines of code as possible

This says so much about what is wrong with modern software development. It definitely wasn't the sentiment I studied and progressed through my career with over the last 30 years.

Isn't the whole essence of software that we are lazy? And so we write code so we don't do stuff ourselves?

Nothing wrong with being lazy if it gets things done, right?

It's not universally true either, not by a long way.

I've worked with plenty of devs who wore extreme verbosity almost as a badge of honour.
