Programmers say that tending to find things bothersome is better, but at my level, if something like this were to happen in the future, I would probably bother(some) to do and develop libraries to solve imaginary troublesome problems that don’t exist at all. But they don’t do anything about the troublesome reality in front of them until right before it happens. This is called escapism.
Laziness, though, is acting to lower “future costs.” It’s an attitude that goes against YAGNI to act to lower imaginary “future costs”.
