code dysmorphia

Code dysmorphia is when a programmer feels like their code isn't as good as others' and they get stuck trying to make it perfect. It makes them spend too much time on their code and can make it hard for them to finish projects.
Eric: Hey Andy, do you ever feel like your code isn't good enough compared to others?

Andy: Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes I spend so much time trying to make it perfect that I never finish anything.

Eric: Yeah, it's like we have code dysmorphia or something.

Andy: Code dysmorphia? What's that?

Eric: It's when you think your code is bad even when it's not, and it stops you from finishing projects.
