I am distinguishing between the two. Obviously Edwardo does not
understand English that well. Maybe I should thrown an "even" in there.
However, the rubber duck is important. It's not a term I came up with,
as I am sure many of you know. Though I would like propose a new term:
shit programming. It happens on the toilet. AKA "the aha moment".

Today I did no shit programming. It was just methodical and cyclic -
incremental if you will.

Peace,
