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.

Not quite Schrödinger's cat, but in programming we have Heisenbugs named after Schrödinger's peer.

It's when you have a bug/crash that is not reproducible when debugging it. Might be that you're reading some memory that you're not supposed to, and the debugger just sets it up differently. Maybe you have a race condition that just never happens with the debugger attached.
