People have this wrong notion that I am a good programmer. I am actually a lazy programmer; that is why I kept Asterisk so simple.

In my life I have seen that some of the best programmers are the laziest ones too. Lazing results in striking some brilliant ideas where as the ones programming day in and day out spending long hours at a stretch often miss out on ideas.

…that is why I kept Asterisk so simple.

It is proof enough. Simplicity is Asterisk’s USP if you asked me.
