That one Wednesday where my code compiled on the first try

I spent 3 hours debugging a missing semicolon in a for loop on Tuesday, then Wednesday morning I wrote 50 lines of Python and it ran perfectly without any errors. Has anyone else had a day where everything just clicked like that?

See, I actually hate when my code compiles on the first try. That "everything just clicked" moment? That's when I know I'm probably missing something big. Every time I've had a perfect first run, I end up finding a logic error two days later that breaks everything in production. I'd rather get the errors early and often, because then I actually know what's working. A clean compile on your first try is just a fancy way of saying you aren't testing hard enough yet.

Seems a bit dramatic. A clean compile's just a moment, not a curse.
