So...there's this thing my head does when someone mentions something anywhere near my areas of expertise, where my head will immediately begin tracing out how it works - what it interacts with - what the base requirements are - possible attack vectors - mitigative strategies - unless I suppress this reflexive thought pattern by force.

Is there a term for this?

@munin we just call it arbetsskada, workinjury, in Sweden. I know a guy who can't stop getting emotional over badly done wallpaper jobs wherever he goes. Guess yours is a high degree one, with the added bonus of it being an inviting hole of analysis that you can fall into from neural habit

@OliverUv Huh! So there -is- a term for it.

Kind of fascinating; I can very much see why someone'd get distressed over a bad wallpaper job if that was their specialty.
