When you talk to other devs about what their code did. I also relate myself to this.

I kid you not, it's been impossible to find a rubber duck, so I had to make my own. Yes, his head is wonky, it's intentional, I wanted him to match me 😁

Meet Harry Ponder, my magical debugging buddy

When you escape outside from everybody, and the nature gives you its best debugging buddy!

Sorry for the quality, it was dark and that's the best I could do with it.

It scared the shit out of me at first :D

Here is my debugging buddy. Checks my code, and lands on the part of the screen where the error is. I'll feel bad when I kill him

Inspired by some other devrantter. I finally got myself a debugging buddy. It's been a month since I bought it and I can't wait to see it growing even bigger!

My cat volunteered to be my debugging buddy tonight!

Tfw everyone uses a cute duck or little animal as a debugging buddy, and then there's me...
I like this one tho. :)

Not a devDuck or a stress ball but here is my debugging buddy: a silicone mochi pig :3

Nature gave me a real life 🦆 debugging friend. He wasn't really helpful though. He flew away shortly after. Probably got a call from a more desperate dev.

I just discovered a local beer brewery called Crazy Duck. Now that's my kind of debugging buddy!
I'm buying some the moment I get back from vacation to test them on a legacy PHP project.

My debugging buddy 😁🦉

Behold! Be amazed by my new debugging buddy!
(it is so squishy)

My new debugging buddy!

Found mobile debugger!

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays, most of my family doesn’t understand why this was my favorite gift this year 😂😂😂

Sheldon 'Spock' Cooper sits atop my monitor, assuming the role of my debugging buddy !!!

Does this guy count as a rubber duck...?

THE PARADISE EXISTS.

So I'm making a file uploader for a buddy of mine and I got an error that I had never seen before. Suddenly I had C++ code and some other weird shite in my terminal. Turns our that I got a memory leak and the first thing that sprung to mind was "Fuck yes, I get to do some NCIS ass debugging".

Now the app worked fine for smaller files, like 5MB - 10MB files, but when I tried with some Linux ISO's it would produce the memory leak.

Well I opened the app with --inspect and set some breakpoints and after setting some breakpoints I found it. Now, for this app I needed to do some things if the user uploads an already existing file. Now to do that I decided to take the SHA string of the file and store it in a database. To do this I used fs.readFile aaaaaaaaaand this is where it went wrong. fs.readFile doesn't read the file as a stream.

Well when I found that, boy did I feel stupid :v

I just won this debugging buddy at a children's carnival. I must name him. I'm taking suggestions. The winning suggestion gets ++ on their 20 latest rants.

Rubber duck you say, that's cute.

My coding buddy😍😍

I'm I the only one who talks to an imaginary friend when debugging 🌚🌚

In my defense my imaginary friend helps me see things in a different perspective and most times I end up fixing my bugs

Got a new friend on Christmas :D

Had this guy (my debugging buddy) since my first job and it's starting to show :/

My debugging buddy.🐈❤

After a particularly social weekend it’s important to have a motivational buddy to get you back in the game!
You all heard of the debugging duck, meet the motivational duck...

“If your duck can see its reflection - your not developing enough” ;)

My debugging buddy went missing, I've already been searching all day :C

Debugging buddy: stuffed php uniphant

Debugging drink: pipping hot tea

Debugging stick: chocolate bar

When you're out at the ComicCon, surrounded by all those magnificent nerds, having a blast, got yourself the best debugging buddy(who brings on board the knowledge of the ancient ones - pic below) but you kiiiinda want to be home already, because you want to learn RoR - then you know you're hooked.
