Here I need to disagree. Yes, laziness might lead you to do more automation and less work. That's a good thing.9. Laziness.
Larry Wall, the original author of, The Perl Programming Languages, describes three good qualities in a good programmer: laziness, impatience and hubris. Laziness may sound like a bad trait for any employee to have, but IT managers have said that if you want to find the best way to do something, ask a lazy person. Chances are, that person will have found the quickest, most efficient way to do it. A company’s programming staff can often find a way to automate processes, saving time and money.
However there's also laziness on a different scale which is the "don't do anything" scale. How bout forget about making the computer do it, let's not do it at all? Basically where laziness may be a good indicator of a person's aptitude for code, it throws away every other metric that you have on the board, and that does not play well with anything.
The key here is to be lazy about the right thing :P Don't take the trait "laziness" at face value. It actually really means to be eager to automate the shit out of everything automatable in an effort to become more efficient (:
