A heisenbug

cartoon-heisenbug · dev · SVG, currentColor

A skittering bug racing away in a blur, illustrating the programmer's term for a software bug that seems to vanish when you try to observe or debug it. It's a playful nod to the frustrations of chasing intermittent errors. Useful for developer, QA, or software-testing content.
