Half the team I work with hadn't heard of rubber duck debugging so it was a good time to introduce them to it. I've always been a human rubber duck at past jobs, to the point where my boss at the time actually bought me a rubber duck as a mascot. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging)

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring a cop formerly specialized in hidden surveillance.
