Have you considered live streaming your desktop, e.g. at Twitch? Might give you that "someone is watching" feeling.

On the other hand, one has to be super careful about privacy, security, NDAs.

I have actually considered recording it - maybe make "Pomodoro" sessions where the recorder can't be stopped and record the screen and my voice. I could maybe convince myself these recordings are valuable to myself or maybe be shown to others in the future and get the "rubber duck" effect that way without burdening others. I think I need the "now were live!" state of mind somehow and this could be it. Maybe these recordings stored in a organized way could also serve as a kind of journal in the future. I will look into this.

Real streaming is not an option - the code and information on the screen is private. But for my private projects I have tried streaming to twitch and it kind of works in the same motivational way.
