“I did not mean to write an essay detailing all the ways in which slider controls in Photoshop CS4 reveal problems in the design, development, quality control, and management of the product; I really didn’t. I just pulled up the Smart Sharpen dialog one evening and, sighing at its hideousness for the nth time, decided to put together a little joke post. That was all.”


I know exactly how that is. Sometimes you just have to act on the feeling — you can't rest till you do.

I don't know how that is...to have a compulsion, to have to act on a feeling. Sorry, it just sounds so foreign to me I'm having difficulty understanding it.

the only way I can explain it is that I simply won'tbe able to sleep until I write it down/do it/share it. it's out of my control and I can only complete it. it's not desire as much as a requirement or obscene compulsion.

I'm convinced that there's a significant overlap between the OCD and programmer populations, but I am unsure of the reason/cause for this correlation and which direction it goes.
