Hi Bruno, it is well known that software engineers are lazy. I know I have been one for over 30 years. But that is not a bad thing.
We try to find the simplest and most efficient solutions and we seek out the best tools and plug-ins we can to make our job easier. This means we spend less time figuring out how to do things and spend more time finding solutions to our customers problems, at least in theory.
All in all, we are conditioned to work smarter not harder.
Regards, Tracy

Hi!
I agree.

You probably have seem those kind of developer who has "all in his head", but nothing along the code... not to mention there are still people who say stuff like "true developers XYZ" (ex: "true developers" use notepad, don't touch the mouse, use VIM...)
