Review on 🐀 Liberty Imports Jumbo Rubber Duck Bath Toy - Giant Yellow Duckie for Baby Shower, Birthday Party Favors - 8-Inches by Rebecca Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Obviously computer scientists/programmers use rubber duckies.

So my husband, a mature 25-year-old full-time college grad, decided he needed this giant ducky. What for? Well, in the world of "coders," a world full of computer programmers and "languages" that we mere mortals can't understand, they talk to rubber duckies. That's right, they do. On the very rare occasions when a programmer gets stuck, which I've heard from insiders, that's not too rare, sometimes they try to discuss their problems with an object. The rubber duck is particularly popular. ("Rubber Duck, you're the one.") I've heard that this has actually become a talking point in the programming world, and people have their own opinions. Some companies will give you a rubber ducky when you start onboarding to talk to them. Other companies have banned the technique because rubber duckies are known to fly (i.e. they are thrown). Therefore, my husband, an excellent student, decided to take online courses in the programming languages that computer science masters. the gods told him. (To be honest, he's only brushed up on Python so far.) Because of this, he decided that when he's approaching frustrating problems AND voluntarily tackling them after hours, he should have a rubber ducky to talk to. But not just any rubber ducky. It's a giant rubber ducky. So, on our bedside table (and why not) this baby has found its home. He's sitting next to our lamp - I should add that it's a color changing lamp. Sometimes the duck looks a bit doubtful in the red light of the lamp. So, general review - my programmer husband LOVES the duck in all its mighty glory. I'm okay with sharing my home with him - just maybe not sitting next to a red light that changes color to red.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
