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.

In programming there is also the Heisenbug: as soon as you try to observe the bug, it disappears or changes its behavior.

It’s mostly because many observation processes are invasive and change the nature of the system under test
