Compiled It In My Head

Definitions

1. A joking way to admit that code was not actually run or tested and was only mentally checked for correctness. It usually signals overconfidence right before a bug appears.

   In plain English: A joke meaning someone only tested code in their imagination.

   Example: "I didn't run the migration, but I compiled it in my head and it should be fine."
