This post reflects on the concept of 'rubber-duck debugging', a practice where programmers solve problems by explaining their work to an inanimate object, such as a rubber duck. The discussion in the comments suggests skepticism about the intentionality of this practice, mentioning that while it can lead to insights, the act of explaining does not guarantee a solution. It serves as a reminder of the importance of communication and perspective in problem-solving, albeit recognizing that not every instance of explaining leads to a breakthrough.
