Sounds about right to me! I've got the laziness and impatience down but lack the hubris.

That's a website that only programmers get, right? I mean, I've earned a lot of money programming in the past but it's clear why I could never hack (sic) it with you guys.

I think as some level you have to be a bit of a cock to imagine that you can do a better job at designing and coding than the other guy, puff yourself up a bit ... programming is kinda intellectually macho.
I am very lazy indeed.
Sadly, I'm too patient.
