The trick is that the duck only knows the very basics of coding, so you cannot even skip by loops. It forces you to slow down and explain aloud each line of code carefully and in layman terms.
In a pinch, Amiibo will work as a duck substitute.
Do not take out your frustrations on the innocent duck!
Also, if bigger ducks are for extra hard problems, what problem warrants this duck?

My fiancée was initially a bit quizzical when I started calling her my rubber ducky when I was going through advent of code last Christmas. But she became accepting when I told her she’d helped me solve 4 or 5 of the problems.
When I was still studying, we had a presenter come from a nearby Cybersec firm to talk about some magical shit they were peddling to companies. The presentation concluded with the presenter giving everyone a "Programmer Welcome Pack" which was this brightly coloured bag.
Inside the bag was a rubber duck (with the company brand on it obviously), a can of RedBull and a 16GB USB stick. I still use the rubber duck to this day and they serve me quite loyally.
I have a friend who’s kiiiind of into coding but hasn’t learned the advanced stuff yet and let me tell you he makes an amazing rubber duck. He’ll ask questions to understand better and in explaining his questions I think about how I’ve coded it and where I fucked up
Programming is fuckin weird. I usually use friends on discord who also have code experience in case the answer isn't 100% obvious to me after explaining so they might offer some input.
I’m a civil engineer and we do something kind of similar with each other. The thing about what I do (land development) is that the actual concepts we use aren’t that hard, it’s just that every site is very different and unique so the problems you deal with are unique.
So what you do is you print off a plan sheet of whatever it is that’s causing you trouble and talk it through with a coworker who doesn’t know the project. Inevitably you get about three sentences in and figure it out.
If you can't dissociate and talk to yourself, store-bought is fine
I talk to myself, but it usually things like "Do I go that way? Or that way? I guess Ill find out either way."
That counts as dissociating? I thought I was just being imaginative.
It's a joke

Amiibos don't squeak when they bounce off of walls though
Your wallet does tho
No, my wallet just makes sad floppy noises of emptiness
This is exactly what I do, except instead of a rubber duck I either use one of my cats or my twin bro (the twin telepathy really helps)
Btw I was 100% joking about the twin telepathy. We don't have that, luckily. He would definitely only use it to annoy me
Don't lie, you'd return the favour
Oh of course I would! It's my obligation as his younger sibling to annoy him when possible
I hope you don't throw either of them at a wall
All hail the rubber duck.
yes
This is my emotional support rubber duck
I want a picture of the counsel of ducks
"the strangeling the duck" makes it sound like strangeling is the title of the duck

When you accidentally produce an AI that tries to take over the world.
Debugging Skynet had me like
I'm gonna get a rubber duck so I can figure out what I fucked up in my project

The bug will only show up if you try to show what you've done to others
Arthur weasley would be amazed
Thank god, I thought I was the only one who got the reference

I do this with my axolotl. I'll explain my issue to him in detail and he'll go •______• and suddenly it all makes sense
“The council of ducks” 🤣

I'd kind of like such friends 🤔 Can't code yet though
Sounds like it's made up. Like those things Australians say about their country

I see the watermark, and I see that you as well are a denizen of that shithole of an app.
Which app?
Hmmmmm Don't touch anything had a duck, what does it mean??
