Someone's partner just discovered their search history and is questioning their entire career choice. "What is a fork," "what is a branch," "what does pipe mean"—these are literally Git and Unix fundamentals that we all Google for the 500th time because nobody actually remembers the exact difference between rebase and merge.
The real kicker? "Rubberduck to talk to." Yeah, we've all been there. When the code breaks so badly that you need an inanimate object to explain your problems to. Rubber duck debugging is a legitimate technique where you explain your code line-by-line to a rubber duck (or any object really), and somehow the solution magically appears. It's basically therapy for developers, except the duck doesn't judge you for using 47 nested if statements.
The stereotype says programmers are geniuses. Reality says we're just really good at Googling basic concepts repeatedly and talking to bath toys.
