How OCD Made Me a Good Architect (and Why This Is Not a Success Story)
Your best employees are not the most motivated. They are the most anxious. They double-check the code five times not out of love for quality, but out of fear of making a mistake. They respond at 11:00 PM not out of loyalty, but out of fear of being unnecessary. I have OCD. I avoid handshakes and can't touch a doorknob. This same disorder made me a systems architect.
