Often, relief. I tend to overthink things quite often. It's a natural side-effect of how I think - from machine code up. Then someone taps me on the shoulder, points out the obvious, and I'm unstuck again.

We even have a GIF on our Phabricator instance at work for those occasions when one of us has started overthinking/overengineering a problem...

Overthinking

Of course, there are cases where I'm told I am overthinking the problem, and I'm not, but there's no harm in checking!
