  3. AI tooling disclosure! 🤖✨ Because apparently, code is more honest than politicians, who knew? Next up: requiring devs to declare their use of caffeine and rubber duck debugging. ☕🦆

  4. I wanted to try out my new terracotta PETG from prusament so I printed this cutie. I added fuzzy skin to add a bit of texture.I think it is a very pretty color, albeit a bit too shiny to give it a true terracotta feel.

    Molly the owl will now sit on my desk and help me debug my code.

  5. I just realised that muttering to yourself or random toys on your desk, about your code and what you think it should be doing, especially when there is a bug, is a thing, and has a name 🦆
    So I’m not going crazy then 👍

  7. I was told to get a #RubberDuck.
    After having been stuck for a while, then explaining a colleague how I'm stuck code-wise, on the spot I suddenly realized what was going wrong without needing input from said colleague.

    Didn't know it was a thing. 🤓

  8. Meet my colleague, the Debug Duck 🦆

    When I encounter a problem at work, I tell her my thoughts and ideas out loud in the hope that this helps me see what the problem is all about. It actually works! #RubberDuckDebugging

  9. Wow, I just had the weirdest experience:
    I had a #CSS problem, I couldn't solve.
    Then I _imagined_ that I'd ask it in a forum and _imagined_ someone answering it.

    I've taken the imagined answer and it just worked!

    That's some kind of #RubberDuckDebugging, but Inception style! :awesome: 😅

    (second part of post will explain the problem and solution)

  11. There we go! A little constructive ranting/shouting into the void helped to break my logjam.

    I do kind of like the vim-markdown Table of Contents auto-generation & header manipulation. Still, once a doc gets to a certain, ineffable size is still pretty cheesy. for the win

  12. One ducky has left the team and found a new home, but a 5th has joined the skein, raft, waddle, after loops and loops of yarn code.

    I can’t stop…

  14. Beim #rubberduckdebugging erzählt man (z.B.) einer Gummiente ein technischens Problem, bei dem man nicht weiterkommt, und findet gerade dadurch die Lösung.
    Die Ente kann auch ein anderer Mensch sein :breadpeek:
    Funktioniert erstaunlich oft beim Entwickeln von #software sowie beim Frickeln mit #hardware. :rubberduck:
