Rubber Ducky Debugger
The rubber duck debugger goes far back in the history of development. It has become ingrained in the culture of developers alike. When a developer is having trouble finding where a bug is occurring in their code, they will usually have to talk it out with someone. Just to bounce ideas off each other. This process is called “Rubber Ducking” or “Rubber Duck Debugging.” The rubber duck is a symbol of this interaction. This rubber duck is unique as it is a giant rubber duck that the developer in your life can place on his desk and display proud.

Every once in a while, developers must take a break from the work they are cranking out. On average, a developer will work 10+ hours per day cranking out code. When they take a break, however, their minds are still going. What better way to help them relax than give them a model to put together. This will give them the opportunity to relax, step away from code, but also still use their minds and hands to build something!
