Rubber Duck Debugging in the Age of AI # Ever found yourself explaining your code to a little rubber duck perched on your desk? If so, you’re in good company. This quirky practice, known as rubber duck debugging, has helped countless developers articulate problems and discover solutions. The idea is simple: by forcing yourself to explain your code, line by line, to an inanimate duck, you often stumble upon the bug or insight you needed. It’s like having a silent pair programmer who patiently listens as you work through the logic. But what if your rubber duck could talk back and offer suggestions? Modern AI coding assistants (like GitHub Copilot) are becoming the new interactive rubber ducks, and that means a lot for debugging, brainstorming ideas, and reviewing code.
