Inspiration
Rubber Duck Debugging is a well known technique to troubleshooting issues, errors or problems.
The technique is about talk out loud your problem trying to explain it to someone else ( eve if the other person has no idea about your problem), when you try to explain the problem your brain pays more attention to details and probably, the solution comes out. You will find you solve the problem by your own speaking out loud.
The technique talks avoid use a inanimate object (usually a rubber duck), but you need to explain it out loud the issue.
If it's true you can use the technique with any object at your home or office, with ALEXA is so much fun.
