I don't want to be that guy, but as someone in the medical field, I take issue with OCD being thrown around so casually as a good thing to have. It's a legitimate mental disorder that can cause its sufferers a lot of turmoil.

I absolutely get what you guys are going for, and you seem like a fun bunch, but I'd be a bit more sensitive about using terms like that. It'd be like someone saying "We're looking for ridiculously good programmers, like autistic good."

Absolutely right. There are plenty of ways of making the same point without invoking a very serious condition that makes a lot of peoples' lives extremely difficult.
