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"

...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.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. ~ Albert Einstein

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.:~

Code Assist? Compile as you type? At least modern IDEs make it really hard to save code that is not compile time ready. We did have one rookie that would accept every suggestion that the quick fixes offered... that code had all kinds of strange methods in places where it did not make sense and code that compiled but was unreachable or would throw all kinds of runtime errors. We were still finding bugs in that code four years later.

For when the same situation you described, except one of the following happens:* You forgot to write, or uncomment, the one line that calls the new code;
- You are calling the new code and it's working perfectly, but you forgot to assign the returned value to its rightful variable.

When that happens to me, my knee-jerk reaction is, this needs some more testing :)
