code nudging

The practice (or perhaps art) of "nudging" one's code into submission. This involves taking code that is mostly correct and twiddling some bits or adding/removing lines, without really having any specific reason to do so, until the code starts to work. Also, a terrible way to write code.

I'm a pro at code nudging. Too bad it's a terrible way to code.
