Rubber Duck Debugging

A new feature has been added to Stack Overflow. Look at the bottom-right of the screen and you’ll see a rubber duck floating there, cool as a cucumber.

Has Stack Overflow gone and added a chatbot too?! Let’s click it.

Let’s ask the duck!

The duck is listening.

May the magic of the internet be with you…

Have you said everything…

The duck is pondering…

Quack!

Rubber duck debugging is a debugging method with remarkable effectiveness for solving difficult problems. If you select I hate this duck, you can send it on its way.

This rubber duck is apparently Stack Overflow’s April Fools’ Day prank for 2018.
