What is rubber ducking and why do we do it?
The practice of rubber ducking comes from a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas. In the story, a programmer would debug code by explaining it, line by line, to a yellow plastic waterfowl. Have you ever had a eureka moment while explaining something to someone?
What causes Duck hooks in golf?
The clubface and spin are the two most common causes of duck hooks. Let’s review the relationship of the clubface to the the path of the club at impact and how it creates spin on the ball causing it to hook aggressively.
How do you write code with a rubber duck?
Step one: Acquire a rubber duck. Name it if you wish. Note, other bath toys, inanimate objects or even pets (that will sit still while you talk) will do. We prefer to stick to origins and use the traditional rubber ducky. Step two: Explain your broken code, line by line, out loud to the rubber duck.
Should you talk to a rubber ducky or a colleague?
You don’t have to worry about being judged — the rubber ducky would never think less of you. Another issue with talking to a colleague is that you can feel judged for not being able to solve this problem yourself. It’s easier to be more open to discussing your mistakes with a duck friend that would never think less of you.

What causes a duck hook?
Two scenarios can occur with the clubface that can cause a duck hook. The first one is if the clubface is closed at impact and the swing path is inside-in. The second scenario is if the clubface is too closed and the swing path is either inside in or inside out.
What does a duck hook do?
A duck hook sends the ball further to the left of your target than you want. However, if you pay enough attention to your face angle, grip, and swing path, you will fare better than most.
How does a golf ball spin?
The spin is created by the spin path. Hence, when the swing path is from the inside, it rotates the golf ball counterclockwise at impact. As a result, it does not travel the way it should. A golf ball spinning at a high rate often leads the ball in an unintended direction.
How effective is rubber duck debugging?
There are a few reasons that rubber duck debugging is effective. First, explaining something out loud makes your thinking slow down. Our brains can process between as much as 350 and 500 unspoken words per minute — for example, when reading. But we can only tend to articulate around 120-180 words per minute.
What does it mean when you explain to your duck?
Now, so does your rubber duck. This means that when you explain to your duck, you’re forced to think like a computer — and you’ll stumble when you hit a bug.
Can you talk to a rubber duck?
All things considered, talking to a rubber duck still seems a bit strange. But there are some benefits to using a rubber duck rather than talking to a colleague. You don’t disrupt or distract your colleagues. Bugs are a common occurrence in coding.
Can rubber ducks debug?
They might not have the latest coding know-how, but rubber ducks can help you debug your code. Next time you run into a problem with your code, why not grab a plastic duck, and see how rubber ducking works for you. Because it turns out, rubber ducks can be more than a bath toy, and rubber ducking is more than just a funny phrase.
