I sometimes get the feeling that I think too much at work. It seems to always be me who points out problems with the code, or scenarios in which the code won't work correctly. Maybe the code doesn't need to work perfectly in all conceivable scenarios; the existing code likely doesn't.
I'm probably also over-analytical... I spend too much time thinking about and working on thing which aren't my main concern. I also spend too much time trying to word emails/messages well. Like this comment here; it's a simple comment, but I've spent way too long writing it.

I think that spotting situations where code won't work is a good thing - so long as you weigh up the costs of fixing it against the likelihood of it going wrong. Having nobody on the team that could spot that kind of thing would be worse.

BUT, if I ever get an email with a semi-colon in it, I'll pay attention. ;)
