Even if it&#x27;s just plain laziness-- how do we get to the point where a developer is being just plain lazy?  People naturally want to do good work and want to be proud of what they do.  So if people appear like they&#x27;re being lazy-- they&#x27;re probably really demoralized, or overworked, and they just haven&#x27;t heard a nice thing about their work in weeks. We&#x27;re social animals, and engineers need appreciation too.
