I heard this term mentioned by one of the hosts of the excellent "If Books Could Kill" podcast (when talking about Sam Bankman-Fried, who's like the quintessential case of this), and my god does it clearly define something I've been needing a term for since forever. This phenomenon explains like half of what's wrong with the world today.

@eribosot i think this can happen to anyone who learns #recursion and recursive methods also, you realize u can solve things by doing lots and lots of reading about it but you may also die before u finish.

@frogzone You're reminding me of my favorite entry in the Jargon File aka the Hacker's Dictionary:

recursion: n. See recursion.
