That would be a great developer, a good one could explain their code to a rubber duck.

I think rubber duck debugging is a different thing. Generally you explain your code to the "rubber ducky" to help you find a problem you are looking to fix. There is something about doing that that really does help, and if you don't have to bother someone else, you can save time and use less human time. 8)

Pardon me if i explained something different than you meant. Just thought that concept deserved some more info.

Yes it is a different concept, originally I was going to say "explain to another developer" but decide to take it to the debugging idea.
