I used Claude to debug a UI bug: What actually happened

A seasoned software developer with over a decade of experience embarked on a journey to determine whether AI could serve as a replacement or a tool for debugging complex UI issues. In a detailed account of debugging a persistent UI bug using the Claude AI model, the developer encountered various challenges, including misdiagnosed theories about disabled states and loading screens. Through iterative testing and collaboration with Claude, the root cause was identified as a conflict between a modal and a dropdown menu, necessitating a fix that involved adjusting modal settings. The experience was akin to pair programming, highlighting Claude's strengths in brainstorming and code navigation, though it demonstrated limitations in challenging assumptions and exploring deeper issues without specific prompts. Ultimately, the developer found Claude to be a valuable partner for generating ideas and reducing debugging time, emphasizing the importance of clear and precise prompts to enhance the tool's efficacy.
