Claude debugged a bug by adding logs, reading output, and iterating for 20 minutes

A user watched Claude debug for 20 minutes by following a disciplined loop: add logging, ask for a run, read the output, form a hypothesis, test it with another change, and keep narrowing down the root cause.
The key takeaway wasn’t that the model “replaced” the developer. It was that the agent used a better debugging habit than the human: it never skipped steps, never got tired, and never cut corners.
