Rubberdogging

Rubberdogging, verb: attempting to invent a solution to a technical problem by explaining it out loud to a pet. From “rubberducking”, the practice of doing so to an inanimate object, and “dog walking”.

Dan, a white man with a goatee beard and a blue ponytail, looks thoughtful as he crouches on a footpath near a fawn-coloured French Bulldog.

      If there is, I haven’t found the right cat yet. Possibly I just wasn’t as good an engineer when I last had pet cats, but whatever the reason: the 4 I tried were no help.

      Maybe Cat5 will be more technical.
