Hi,
got a weird question. All you people that complain about lazy programmers. Do you program?
If you do not have a single clue of programming, how can _YOU_ deceide how long something is supposed to take? This one puzzles me all the time. Thats what is a pain when dealing with clients that have absolutely no clue.
On the other hand, many programmers are lazy, but its often to do with the fact that programming needs quite a lot of concentration, and if you have something else in your head, you just can't do it.
Also, if you think they are lazy because a programmer told you "it will take 2 weeks" and it takes 6, then just accept that fact that a programmer usually has no clue about how long it takes, is mostly guessing a time, and often knows very well that clients think programming is an easy thing and should take 2 minutes so giving a too long time will just make them lose the project.
