inA brand replied to my comment with a joke about my dead dad and now I read every pinned reply first
My dad's been gone since 2019 and I still screenshot every brand reply just in case they get clever. At this point my camera roll is 90% receipts and 10% pictures of my dog.

inVent: I called rubber duck debugging stupid for 2 years
There's actually research on this. I remember reading about a study where people who talked out loud to themselves solved puzzles faster than people who stayed quiet. Something about how speaking forces your brain to put messy thoughts into order, and the act of hearing it back makes gaps jump out at you. Your roommate basically ran you through the poor man's version of what researchers call self-explanation. The weird part is it doesn't even matter if anyone is listening, or if the listener understands code. Your own ears do the work. Two years of calling it stupid and all you needed was Marcus standing there confused for 30 seconds.
