I have ocd and he's right. Don't pretend you're a spokesperson for people who suffer from my condition.

The condition in reality actually lives on a gradient and it very much influences everyone to varying degrees. It's only labeled ocd once it crosses a threshold. It no doubt exists in programming. Much of refactoring is done for the same mechanisms that cause ocd and zero practical reasoning.

I have ocd but I'm able to differentiate my compulsions from rational reasoning. Thus I can see how irrational my actions are.
