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.

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.

I'll never forget the business card I got one day from a Fluke Instrumentation salesman
"If it works, it's a FLUKE"
Loved it.

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.

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.

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

How about Bam! or Dang!?
When scientists discovered something unexpectedly, they usual muttered "That's funny".

I've done this too using the
try
{
InguaralObject.FirstRun();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
It works every time!

How about FIGJAM (Elephant I'm good, just ask me)?

Simple word: lie.
More complex: It really didn't happen that way but I just want to piss all of you off.

First, congratulations on a job well done!
Archimedes had the perfect word centuries ago.
Eureka - the sudden, unexpected realization of the solution to a problem.
You coded a solution to a problem - it ran the first time -- an unexpected realization.
Eureka!!!!!
