I hate to pull this card on you, but what have you done?
A legitimate question. However, I've known incredibly smart developers who get shit done, and often they like to hobble themselves. They tend to hobble themselves out of a somewhat irrational love of hardship. But often they'll justify it with some other very elaborate explanation that sounds very smart but is pure b.s.
Perhaps there is a closing down of focus being achieved through the 'hobbling'? I accept that if those people examined their process, they might find other ways of focussing without the hobbling
