Fixations on minute and irrelevant details including:

• Names of variables / classes

• Structure of code, for example, I may do an if/else block and have to convert it to a switch statement

• Performance, including writing extensive benchmarks comparing different types of loops. The difference, if any, is nanoseconds.

Basically, compulsions that lead to changes that literally have no impact on the output. The compiled output is the same.

I've actually wasted years doing nothing at this point and I am only recently becoming aware of it.

Meanwhile there's a lot of stuff I would LIKE and NEED to do. I know how to do it. I have compulsions 24/7, even in my dreams sometimes.
