Lazy Developers are the Best Developers

The best developers are lazy. There, I said it.

But I haven’t always felt this way.

Jess is a self-proclaimed lazy, happy Developer Advocate who is on a mission to promote strategic laziness as an effective, more fulfilling way to work for creatives. In our chat, Jess reveals that she is able to work part-time at just 3 days per week in her role. The reason she’s able to do this is that she has managed to automate repetitive, manual tasks at work, using n8n.

As we all know, automation is the way of the smartest operators, and I think this could work for most creative roles. Though I don’t know how a 3-day week would work in an agile development environment because, while developers are creative, agile in practice aims to reduce the amount of free time developers have at their disposal.
