Turns out the rubber duck method actually works for me
I was so skeptical when a friend in Columbus told me to explain my code to a rubber duck when I got stuck. Felt like a joke at first, spent an hour just talking to this thing on my desk about a loop that kept failing. About 20 minutes in, I spotted the error myself, I was checking the wrong variable name the whole time. Has anyone else had this actually help them solve something, or did you find a different trick that works better?
