Three great virtues of a programmer
1. Laziness
2. Impatience
3. Hybris
This should not be misunderstood. You should be too lazy to repeat a task when you can have a computer do it for you, you should be interested in setting up a system that lets you analyze results as soon as you are finished measuring (or what ever you do), and most importantly, you should not be afraid to try the impossible.
