We need to pay the programmers to put the problems in the code.

Cave Johnson-ass idea

Rubber ducks can't write comments repeatedly asking for clarification on Jira tickets that just say "[X] doesn't work" or attend pointless meetings. They still need devs for that.

On the other hand, rubber ducks also lack the sentience required to reflect, with dissolutionment, on a career that's been wasted working on poorly executed projects which were doomed to failure.

Lucky little yellow bastards.

The duck need its emotional programmer support.

I can easily imagine someone saying this unironicaly

When you try to explain how "rubber ducking" works to someone with an MBA...

I forgot about the programmer duck... Now I am wondering if the Jeep ducks are because a lot of programmers drive Jeeps.. 🤔

As a Jeep driver, the number of ducks you see on the dash is reasonable considering the number of bugs they have

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Are they buggy? I had a 2012 Patriot that was great! Changed the fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, and plug wires and I was getting 35/50 MPG out of the thing using it as a delivery vehicle.

That’s why I have created the AI rubber duck. It replaces both the dev and the old, outdated traditional rubber duck. Save thousands per week!

Only $20,000 per month via subscription.

If the rubber duck can drive the Jeep then why do I need to pay my Uber?
