C0D4662248yWell, I don’t look like a completely nut when yelling at my computer because something won’t work.
Them: “who are you talking to”
Me: “the duck” -
balte22868yyou don't need a rubber duck to do rubber duck debugging, the idea is to explain your code step by step to something as stupid as a rubber duck.
putting an actual rubber duck on your desk is just an inside joke. -
Eariel19058y@balte, it doesn't really need to be something stupid. You don't even need to simplify the problem or make a ELI5-type version. You only need to try and explain it. You can just choose an actual person who doesn't know the problem, write in a text file, or a simple sheet of paper, and so on.
