Now that I think about it, I’m going to propose that rubber duck debugging is a way to compensate for ADHD and undiagnosed ADHD is very common among programmers. It’s really just a variant of the “talk through a problem out loud” coping strategy.

My husband does this. Sometimes it's hard to tell when he's talking to me or himself.

I can't talk out loud to myself or rubber ducks because of a reasons. I do however have a couple of people that I use as sounding boards to bounce ideas off of which works for me, whether they have any input or not does really matter it's just about any sort of feedback.
