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.

Woaw, working 8 hours ... ... in a row without any intermediate point to see whether the code will work ... and ending the session with a run that you expect to crash and to debug that is really too much for me, now that I'm used to 5 mins cycles with refactoring and TDD I'm not amazed but sorry for you :-(

That's kind of like being frustrated that when you take you car in for an engine change they can't take the car around the block every half hour to make sure it still works. Sometimes changes can be big.
