> Claude doesn't run out of patience like a human being does.

It very much does! I had a debugging session with Claude Code today, and it was about to give up with the message along the lines of “I am sorry I was not able to help you find the problem”.

It took some gentle cheering (pretty easy, just saying “you are doing an excellent job, don’t give up!”) and encouragement, and a couple of suggestions from me on how to approach the debug process for it to continue and finally “we” (I am using plural here because some information that Claude “volunteered” was essential to my understanding of the problem) were able to figure out the root cause and the fix.
