C0D4644176yI talk to my ducky.
It talks back and calls me crazy for talking to it.
Talking through a problem is a key part of this field, and if no ones going to listen, then you have a duck.
Fuck the social awkwardness, they either get it, or think you've gone bat shit crazy... or both. -
I used to have until my co-worker took it. Anyway I realized I don't actually need it or it doesn't have to be a duck since I can simply talk to myself. And no I'm not weirded out since we often do a lot of self-talk.

I have an android plushie from google that I got from their interview. Some co workers see me talking to it and ask me where I got it.
