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.

Now now. Software is like a child, you have to let it run loose, otherwise how will it learn from its mistakes?

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.

...and then you put it into production and there comes a little devil out of no where that screws the whole thing up.
i.e. One oh sh*t wipes out a bunch of atta-boys!

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?
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

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.

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.
