What's the Schrödinger's cat equivalent in your profession/main activity? (lemmy.ml)

Needless to say i'm talking about the oversimplified and misleading version of the Schrödinger's cat paradigm, where he is both dead and alive until you watch it.

I don't have a job but i follow theater courses at an academy. And my improvisation is both funny and awful until i show it to others.

The Heisenbug. Once you try to observe this kind of software bug with your technical means, it simply goes away.

And it's opposite (Schrödinger's Box?) - The (edge) problem that you can see and is guaranteed to exist and cause problems but somehow never does and the code works perfectly.
