Abstract
I have mentioned in several places in this book that typing is not my forte and that the Lazy SysAdmin does everything possible to reduce typing. I take that seriously. This tenet expands on that, but there is much more to it than just reducing the amount of typing I need to do. It is also about the readability of scripts and naming things so that they are more understandable.
