TypeScript Debugging Duck With Cape

Programmers have a real technique called rubber duck debugging: you explain your code, line by line, to a rubber duck, and somewhere around line forty you hear yourself say the bug out loud. This duck takes the job seriously enough to wear a cape with “TS” on it.

The cape is PU leather, about 3.1 by 2.1 inches, and the duck is about 2.3 inches at its largest, small enough to sit between a keyboard and a monitor. The language on the cape is applied with a DTF heat transfer, so it shouldn’t peel or fade. Capes for other languages, including Python, C++, Swift, Kotlin, PHP, React and plenty more, are sold separately, so a full stack developer can switch heroes depending on the day. It arrives in a small lockbox, and there’s an optional sticker sheet add-on.

It suits the software engineer who writes TypeScript all day, a new hire’s welcome pack, or a team gift exchange with a low price limit. It’s a joke gift that also does its job.

The catch: it ships from Cyprus, so order early for holidays. If your developer works in another language, look for the matching cape, since a TypeScript duck on a Python desk is its own kind of bug.
