This seems like synesthesia, I've read that it may help excelling as you have several senses to use at the same time.

I had to really consider it because while I am familiar with synesthesia I never really thought it would apply in my case, but when I got deeply into thinking about it the sensations are pretty much in the exact same case.

I think its why I might get a little too irritable at silly code!

I don't have synesthesia, this doesn't prevent me to be totally mad in front of bad code lol ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
