...it depends, whether your'e a newbie, then you just might consider yourself lucky if it worked, althought that "luck" will soon turn out to be a much bigger headache in the long run.

It can be considered lucky if you just want your code to "appear" to work. Excellent example is a typical college project, if your code works on the D-day, it's certainly lucky, who cares later if the code was flawed or whatever.
