I was going to comment this

Context for who don't want to open the link:

In software engineering positions, it was common to give a rubber duck to juniors and tell them "if you get stuck, talk with the duck". To promote this same pro tip of talking your problems out loud

It's not that common nowadays, but is something every other "oldschooler" programmer knows about

I came here to post the same thing.

When I was in college getting my Computer Science degree, whenever I was stumped on a programming project, I would try to explain the problem to my wife, who had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. Sometimes I would even pull out a dry erase board to draw the problem for her. Every time, I would be in the middle of explaining it to her and have one of those eureka moments and run to code the solution that I just came up with in my head while explaining it.

I still do this to this day when working on a project for work as a software engineer. It happens less and less, but it still happens.
