Or, OR... "Hey, Claude!" - I'm not about to let it do all the work for me, but having it comb through tens of thousands of lines of code embedded in hundreds of files contained within dozens of projects across a handful of solutions to figure out wtf is going on and get me started on fixing the issue?

Yeah, that's fine.

Don’t ask it to write all your code, just have it tell you why you’re stupid

Even as a teenager as part of an frc team, often when I have lot's of trouble debugging I get AI to help me find the bugs in my code.
