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!?

The word you're looking for is in fact "holifuck"(tm)...

Been there. The word is surreal.

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

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!!!!!

A friend of mine coined a word for that exact concept. He called it a prograsm.

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 
gzo

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.

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
