Sounds like you Bobbed it - not sure the 'ism' form though. Bobble?

Which reminds me, we're still waiting for the Bobble Head Bob. You haven't forgotten have you? No, you wouldn't forget.

It will be most coveted, and most cherished.

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? Wink | ;)

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? OMG | :OMG:

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. Unsure | :~
