@cyberlyra @c0debabe Oh goodness, yes we do.
We DO have a word for people more genuinely excited by learning and doing than practicality demands: try-hard. Or "pick me". Both insulting, both insinuating that expending more processor cycles than absolutely necessary on something is abnormal, insincere.
