When it comes to developers, laziness isn’t a flaw—it’s a superpower. Think about it: lazy evaluation of code, writing less code to reduce complexity (when done right), and automating everything in sight. If there’s a task we do more than once, the instinct to script it away is practically second nature.

And yes, let’s not forget: automate, automate, automate.

The “Lazy” Way to Work Smarter

Managing Git and Docker without leaving the terminal? That’s not just efficient—it’s what I like to call context-switching laziness. Why waste precious brainpower jumping between windows when you can stay in your flow?

Here are two amazing tools that embody the true spirit of developer laziness (and productivity):

  • Lazygit: A simple terminal UI for Git commands.
  • Lazydocker: A terminal UI for managing Docker.

Give them a try—you might just find that “being lazy” is the smartest move you’ve made today.
