A German word for:“It only works when I try to show you how it does not work”?
That translation is wrong. It’s almost the opposite.Vorführeffekt is when you are trying to show something works (for example to an audience/in a presentation) and it does NOT work in said presentation.Remember this oldie but goldie for USB Plug and Play on Windows?
https://youtu.be/IW7Rqwwth84PS: thanks for all the comments! Didn't realise the double negation would work too. (Trying to show a bug you found in a meeting/to an audience but then it turns out it actually behaves unexpectedly as originally intended. No bug.)
