When the Code Works on First Try

We’ve all been there. You write some code, hit compile, and… zero errors?

The five stages of code working on the first try:

1. Denial — “There must be a hidden error somewhere.”
2. Anger — “WHO TOUCHED MY CODE?”
3. Bargaining — “Maybe if I run it again, it’ll break.”
4. Depression — “I’ve been writing bugs so long, I forgot what clean code looks like.”
5. Acceptance — “I’m actually a genius.”
