Great developers are not lazy. They close brackets and leave no debt. They are lazy in the sense that they implement the least features required because they know the pitfalls of over developing. They are lazy because they leave at 5 but only after finishing their work.

A great developer doesn't ask his boss to hire a third party to manage the server. They ask the boss to hire someone in house because getting anything non-basic done over trouble tickets is a non-starter. A great developer can handle pinching pennies because they use open source at home.
