How to debug Heisenbugs

Create Meme
A three-panel comic titled “The Art of Bugfixing” by Geek & Poke. In each panel, two cartoon programmers stand side by side facing a computer monitor. In the first two panels, they quietly look at the screen. In the third panel, one suddenly shouts, “DON’T LOOK AT THE SCREEN!!!!” The caption below reads, “How to debug Heisenbugs,” humorously referring to software bugs that disappear when observed.
