If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -
...but shorter, and more catchy. I've just completed about 8hrs of solid coding that involved tearing into the guts of my code, touching about 20 modules, ripping out a component and replacing it with a different (3rd party) component whose documentation is of the "documentation is Evil" variety, plus a bunch of refactoring and configuration changes and the first time I ran the code it...just...worked. Isn't that the best feeling in the world. It's like everything stops, and everything is perfect just in that moment. We need a word for it.
I was at a meeting discussing a project and some bright spark (my manager's manager) asked me what was used for source control and bug tracking. I said "Source control - team foundation server, and my code doesn't have bugs." :-D

I call those "Should've bought a lottery ticket instead..." moments. You sure it's not a "works on my machine" code? ;)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I don't believe you because there is no such thing as a 3rd party component that "just works". It's not the best feeling in the world. It's the worst because you haven't found the bugs yet and now have no idea where to look to find them! :)

Sounds like you Bobbed it - not sure the 'ism' form though. Bobble? Which reminds me, we're still waiting for the Bobble Head Bob. You haven't forgotten have you? No, you wouldn't forget. It will be most coveted, and most cherished.

Oh, no no no no NO! My code is perfect. It runs. It has a zero bug count. I'm not letting it out of the house. EVER. In fact I'm not going to run it again.

And that's the thing that's scaring me. Deeply. I've run it once and now I'm going over everything with a fine tooth comb. I'm expecting the equivalent of the moment I look up at exactly the moment a huge fanged gelatinous monster hiding on the ceiling above my head drops onto me and devours me in a pool of green slime.

I said it worked. I didn't say I'd deployed. I'll leave that for the moment just before they close the doors on the plane and say "please turn off all electronic devices". That way I won't have to hear the screams.
