Rubber Duck Problem Solving

This is still one of my favorite techniques for problem solving. Been doing it for years without having a name for it.

Your post has given me a wonderful name to use when I teach the technique to others - one that no one ever forgets.

Interestingly, it seems that the term “rubber duck debugging” has been coined in 1976 by Stack Overflow user greg-449 (cf. greg-449’s Developer Story), who is an amazingly helpful and swift answerer on all questions [eclipse] and [eclipse-rcp], which is enough reason for an honorary mention here.

My son has been trying to code the second coming of sans, but sadly he has been having complications with his codes and he can’t seem to be able to make a working sans undertale.
Arigato :slight_smile:

Your great link went stale. I now found it on http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/tpop.webpage/debugging.html
