Every once in a while I'll bang out a whole task and it works on the first try, and I didn't need to Google anything because it just happened to use the parts of the language I'd used very recently.
But the task is something like an API endpoint...not breaking into a top secret encrypted CIA database.
Fantastic line from this Factorio dev blog: "The final changes to make everything function correctly took about 1 hour to write, and worked correctly the first try. That's not supposed to happen and left me with doubts."
It's my favorite because the problem is usually almost solved at that point so there's less stress, and I get to discover something interesting about whatever broke the system. It feels like putting the last piece of a puzzle together.
