Interviewer: (asks technical question)
Me: (answers correctly)
Interviewer: Oh thank God, most of the people we interview fail to answer that. So, on another note do you believe in rubber duck debugging?
Me: yes, ofc
Interviewer: but it's just a toy you know
[I was kinda taken aback]
Me: ...
Me: God is imaginary too you know
Interviewer: (he just laughed)

Friend got me a rubber giraffe because he couldn't find a rubber duck for my birthday. This is a toy for infants and it's perfect. Apart from satisfying the use case of a rubber duck for debugging, it has added features like you can chew it when you're too frustrated (coz it's made chewable for babies) and when you press it, it makes the weird peep peep noise so that you can express your glee in successfully finding and fixing a bug.
10/10 would recommend.7 -

I don't have a duck, but I got this toy buffalo during the Orientation Program at my university for correctly stating that the inventor of BitTorrent, Bram Cohen, had studied in the University at Buffalo.3 -

I randomly find this so wholesome. Stuff like this gives me hope that one day we create software to move society forward, instead of leveraging psychology to make kids addicted to cancerous social media applications (looking at you, lizugg_erburg)

Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike. But give a boy a rubber duck and he will seize its neck like the butt of a pistol and shout 'Bang!'5
