Wall along with [[Randal L. Schwartz]] and [[Tom Christiansen]] writing in the second edition of ''[[Programming Perl]]'', outlined the ''Three Virtues of a Programmer'':

 

# '''Laziness''' - The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue of a programmer. Also hence, this book. See also impatience and hubris.

# '''Impatience''' - The anger you feel when the computer is being lazy. This makes you write programs that don't just react to your needs, but actually anticipate them. Or at least pretend to. Hence, the second great virtue of a programmer. See also laziness and hubris.
