Re: SAVF info to Physical

Lazy is not bad.

Some of the best programmers I ever met were also some of the laziest.
Like you, before writing code they try to find out if someone else has
already solved the problem at hand.

In fact, I read a story about a guy who owned a manufacturing plant.
He had one very smart employee that was extremely lazy.
Every time they determined that there was a bottleneck in
a production line/process in the plant, they would put this lazy
guy in the job, because invariably he would figure out a more
efficient way to do the job, and thus fix the bottleneck.

Regards,
Steve
