I definitely have hoarding tendencies. I have 100s of vintage UNIX computers, 1000s of books on CS and EE topics. I mostly find the idea of them inspirational, even if I rarely get to explore them in the depth I wish to. But the hoarding tendencies don't seem to show up in my work product, i.e. I am very deliberate and keep a small stack of active projects/tickets/emails. I guess I am good at compartmentalizing? OTOH people often seek me out for pointers to code/libraries/tickets/books etc at work and in my circle of professional friends. I'm kind of like a librarian.
