Need a new word mean "it worked first time and that's crazy because I just wrote the code in one hit and just compiled and ran it"

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.

...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 am not having my software throw up on the carpet, draw all over the walls, put my wallet in the toaster and flush the cat down the toilet.

I don't believe you because there is no such thing as a 3rd party component that "just works".
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 hurts to laugh! Cut it out! :laugh:

Primitusaetasfactum (Primitus-Aetas-Factum). Primitus is the latin word for First. Aetas is the latin word for Time. Factum is the latin word for Work(ing); also the meaning "accomplishment" or "achievement". In summary, this means "first time working", or "first time achieved".

You refactored the Bluescreen code? :omg:

I never trust code that works first time. It's just lulling you into a false sense of security.

There is a word for it in my experience 'Fiction' when similar has happened to me I always test it & test it again as there are things that work but not quite right, get some one who knows the previous code to check it stupid mistakes (they happen to all) also make sure all compiler warning are switched on. Just saying that's all.:~
