Has your patience for staring at a frustrating bug completely disappeared?

Back when I started coding, hitting a stubborn bug meant spending an hour reading through old StackOverflow threads and experimenting with different fixes. That deep dive process actually taught me how the codebase was structured.

Now, if a script throws an error for more than two minutes I immediately paste it into a chat window for a quick fix. My productivity is higher but I honestly feel like my deep-focus muscle is getting weaker.

How do you stop yourself from leaning on AI too quickly when a tough problem comes up?
