    Yeah, it’s a well known technique in programming called “rubber duck debugging”.

    The process of explaining the situation forces you to think about it in a different way, which can help you with the debugging.

    But, nobody actually credits the duck when it works. It’s weird that this guy seems to want to credit ChatGPT

      Is it just me or is this a really weird way of repeating what the OP said? He even used the duck emoji for clarity…
