    I disagree. The rubber duck does not propose alternatives, nor does it point out flaws.

    The flaws may be wrong, but then I have to justify it, which forces me to reconsider what I’ve written.

    It’s like having a script monkey that never took a CS class to bounce ideas off of.

      But if you bounce enough ideas off the junior dev, some of those ideas will stick and slowly turn them into a senior dev. On the other hand, junior devs cost money and they waste a lot of water.

        The junior devs are always taken into other projects when I need them the most :/ or was at least.

        Plus it’s not like it matters anymore. I haven’t done anything but review code and prioritize backlogs and get yelled at by management that my development team isnt under control and that business doesn’t like it when I bring up things that will impact timeline when I was told the wrong priority of other shit.

        I’m starting to feel like this Senior role is really just a new title for dealing with more bullshit and doing less productive work.
