Welcome to My Yellow Duck project! 🦆🌼

Have you ever found yourself in need of someone to talk to about a problem or bug you're facing while coding? Introducing My Yellow Duck, your trusty companion for rubber duck debugging sessions!

Simply type anything you'd like to ask or discuss, just like you would on Slack, Rocket.Chat, or any other messaging platform.
