Read Melissa Fisher's blog post: My rubber duck buddy — LLM use case - accelerate your thinking
She uses Co-pilot to get her thinking in order before landing on a test strategy. Very nice indeed!
Some reflections and questions pop into my head:

Some reflections and questions pop into my head:
- The importance of setting context and boundaries so the LLM doesn't go off on one.
- Are we becoming too comfortable using LLMs as a work buddy where we might've originally sought support from our colleagues and our communities of practice?
- Accelerate your thinking, don't outsource it.
- There's value in developing AI agents to ask me plenty of questions instead of just being given the answers. LLM-as-coach anyone?
- Using the output of a AI rubber-ducking session doesn't stop us from then collaborating with our colleagues or seeking support from our communities of practice.
