If you are asking what rubber ducking is, it's the practice of explaining your issues to a toy as if it were a coworker. Explaining your issues to a coworker forces you to organise your thoughts and problems so that wherever you tell makes sense, and a lot of times the act of organising pushes you to vetch the fault in your logic, or the issue that needs fixing, the missing part...

I see. Do you like rubber ducking?

Not really, I just info dump my partner on my coffee break and since she's not a dev, the process of simplifying the issue so she somewhat understands and shortening it so she doesn't get too bored is helpful enough.

And how does that make you feel?
