Rubber Duck Debugging
You've probably heard of this technique: when you're stuck on a problem, you explain it out loud to an inanimate object (the classic is a rubber duck). The act of explaining often helps you spot the flaw you’ve been missing.
Do you use rubber duck debugging? What other tricks work for you, for example:
- Walking away and taking a break
- Switching to a completely different task
- Sleeping on it
- Asking the "Five Whys"
- Whiteboarding or drawing out the problem
Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. Zoom link will be posted at 12pm MDT.
