I don't see how any of that would imply 'lazy'.

Then perhaps you disagree with GP's perspective? You responded initially to this:

> Someone has a job that makes them push a button every 5 minutes. They write a script so they never have to push a butten again. That person is clever and lazy. That is who you want.

I believe my story very strongly correlates with the spirt of GP's explanation; if you do not see the similarities I'm not sure I could explain further.

If you do see the similarities and simply disagree with the word 'lazy,' then I should make my assumptions of the word more clear. In GP's context I've assumed the definition by Larry Wall from the Three Virtues[1]:

> Laziness: The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure
