Laziness can contribute greatly to organization. For example, I ([[User:Mpnolan|Mike Nolan]]) was just working on a database project and was having to run two files, initdb and populatedb, very often for debugging purposes. I didn't like excessive mouse movement and energy expenditure, so I automated the task. Instead of going to both pages, I made a single expandable page with descriptions of what the two files do. This saves time and would certainly be easier for other programmers to follow than just two files sitting lonesomely.
