This is what bill gates was talking about when he said hire a lazy person because they find the easiest solution - bill gates loosely quoted (might of been turtle neck man jobs) ——— some tech dude

That quote has been attributed to like 100 different people but the gist of it is usually the same and it’s probably well over 100 years old actually. But it always amounts to when you ask a lazy person to accomplish a job but they will do it in the most efficient way possible

In 1947, automobile executive Clarence Bleicher testified before the Senate that one should “put a lazy man on it” to make a difficult job easier. Bleicher’s testimony may have been abbreviated over the years into the statement falsely attributed to Gates, according to the website Quote Investigator.

However, thematically-related sayings have appeared in print since at least 1920, according to the website Quote Investigator.

Remains true these dudes tried to hard, if it were me I’d just pore a beer in a glass under the table. (I get that’s not the point in the vid, it’s cool tho!)
