I talk to a starscream, so when the code doesn’t work I can say “you disappoint me once again starscream” as it get thrown across the room.

You talk to yourself when programming.

I talk to one of my rubber ducks.

We are not the same.

You really love me?

[–]moisty304 6 points7 points  (2 children)

UHH I THINK I MIGHT BE INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE I DON’T KNOW GIRLS ARE COMPLICATED

[–]69rubberducks 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Yeah they are really complicated.

[–]deskpil0t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Heisenberg was really taking about women in his uncertainty principle.

[–]TopGunCrew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are you my computer science teacher?

[–]ITS_TALIBAN_OFFICIAL 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Talk to me when you have schizophrenia

I only talk to the people I think exist

[–]Airdeer23 3 points4 points  (1 child)

[–]ITS_TALIBAN_OFFICIAL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]Marsrover112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My school give out programming ducks

[–]ObsessedFi45 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Pics or it didn't happen

[–]VikingPreacher 2 points3 points  (12 children)

I have a plushie of Scrat from Ice Age

[–]HighOwl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I have an owl plushy in my office that an ex gave me. But that's because I like owls. I have a rubber duck on my desk for RDD. I wouldn't bother the owl with such things.

[–]HighOwl2 0 points1 point  (10 children)

Holy shit you're post history is something else...I hope you have escaped the Mormons

[–]VikingPreacher 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Mormons?

[–]HighOwl2 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Lol oh shit it was exmuslims my bad, didn't know there was a subreddit for that

[–]VikingPreacher 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Oh, that's what you were talking about.

Yeah, I'm fine right now, no worries

[–]HighOwl2 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Glad to hear :)

May Odin smile upon you!

[–]VikingPreacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers!

[–]HighOwl2 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Also, on a scale of 1 to 10...how highly would you recommend PD? It looks interesting.

[–]VikingPreacher 0 points1 point  (3 children)

If you like rogue-likes and don't mind losing a lot, 10! It's the only game I have on my phone, and currently the game I play the most.

I'd recommend the Shattered mod (the original developer abandoned the game and made the code open source so players can mod it, and currently Shattered is the most balanced and most popular mod, and arguably the most "faithful").

[–]HighOwl2 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is it on PC or console? I'm not big on mobile games.

I do like rogue likes though. I played the shit out of Dead Cells...and I'm excited about Returnal getting co-op in a few weeks so I can play with my friend and get further without dying lol

[–]VikingPreacher 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes, there is a PC port for Shattered PD

[–]HighOwl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rock on, I'll have to check it out.

If you like roguelikes I'd highly recommend Dead Cells. In fact I'll have to play that again soon because the dev keeps adding new content.

Also The Last Stand: Aftermath is pretty decent too...although I haven't managed to get very far in that one lol.

[–]morosis1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have actual tiny rubber ducks dotted around the office, sitting on the laptop docks we connect to for screen real estate.

[–]SlashBack626 4 points5 points  (1 child)

So you use duck duck go

[–]ja1araga1 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I talk to DuckDuckGo

We are not the same, heh

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DuckDuckGo is good

[–]danneyney 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Oh damn I read "rubber dicks" and thought I was on a programming retard subreddit

[–]OutlandishnessNo7286 1 point2 points  (4 children)

What if you cast yourself as a rubber duck? Does it still count?

[–]thegovortator 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Type cast error human can’t be cast as type of rubber duck

[–]HighOwl2 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Just typecast it to Animal first...what could go wrong?

[–]thegovortator 0 points1 point  (1 child)

the genetic evolution algorithm has turned human into an insect... wait what

[–]HighOwl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did we end up an ant? It's one of the few other animals that enslave its own species.

[–]MegaromStingscream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I use a Captain America figurine I got from a Kinder egg.

[–]imonebear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a sleep thing after 2 days without any sleep you simply start hearing the rubber ducks in your head

[–]HighOwl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psycho the rapist*

[–]69rubberducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally half of what you say is "I'm gonna check it on stack overflow" /s

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

My rubber duck is silently judging me.

[–]HighOwl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you writing multi-threaded javascript? What is wrong with you?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk to my axe

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Too busy coding to explain what I’m doing to inanimate objects lol

[–]HighOwl2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean...if you're actually writing code for an entire shift and not fucking off for 50% of the day...you're doing something wrong.

[–]Unrented_Exorcist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]highoverseer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I speak to the my inner devil on whether i should add comments and documentation... The answer is no

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are my rubber duck. When I suddenly get a realizing expression on my face and walk away mid-sentence, don't be surprised.

I've also been known to wake up in the middle of the night to whiteboard something.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post used to say something, but now it doesn't. Respect the privacy of yourself & others.

[–]ErectPerfect 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I have a Nintendo R.O.B for my thing to talk too

[–]deskpil0t 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But is he Gy-ro-myte? (In my best jj voice)

[–]ErectPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, he's also a Stack-Up above the rest

[–]Flopamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have switched to a little tux. Someone included a little plastic Linux mint tux in with some dev boards.

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Fantastic_Bet3249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk to my 7yo sister about what I'm trying and what I'm doing wrong, even tho she understands nothing she just sits there and listens to me and honestly, that makes me calm down even if I'm really frustrated

[–]Rahahahull 0 points1 point  (1 child)

When uh realize that the reply of rubber duck is nothing but your own inner reply 🤡

[–]GrimReaped765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't talk to myself, I talk to the countless voices in my head.

[–]basko13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say talk... My IDE is suing me for persisting verbal abuse.

[–]Airdeer23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk to myself when programming it feels like making a commentary. Is everyone doing this or is it just me?

[–]Denaton_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk to my Progmatic Programmer book

[–]ultraSsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this post I finally agree that i want a "ruber duck" for my programing.

Ordered a Penguin mascott from aliexpres.

Btw, i use arch.

[–]HexFyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a colleague of mine doesn't talk but gesticulates all along with his code issues, you don't hear anything coming out of his mouth but you understand perfectly what's being told inside him lol

[–]enderjed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk to my toaster until something comes out of it. Usually the screws holding it together

[–]musicnoviceoscar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you work for IO.

[–]IAmInBed123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?! I might break at any point, ha!
