The eternal developer paradox in its natural habitat! You start with noble intentions to finish that side project you've been working on for 6 months (or let's be real, 2 years). But then your brain spots a slightly misaligned variable name or a function that could be 2 lines shorter, and suddenly you're knee-deep in a full codebase refactoring session at 3 AM. That "ugly" class becomes a personal vendetta, and before you know it, your simple weather app has become a three-week architecture overhaul while the actual features remain untouched. The dopamine hit from making that code "beautiful" is just too powerful to resist—who needs project completion when you can have perfectly aligned brackets?
