Programmers often discover solutions while explaining a problem to someone else, even to people with no programming knowledge. Describing the code, and comparing to what it actually does, exposes inconsistencies. Explaining a subject also forces the programmer to look at it from new perspectives and can provide a deeper understanding.

Haha! But imagine how many programming problems some Jeep owners could debug all at the same time!

The first time I saw one of those rubber duck heavy Jeeps, I wondered if they were a C++ programmer or something.

Edit: And for anyone unaware - the origin is super adorable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_ducking
