Luck-driven development

I found a term "opportunistic development" (Research Directions of Microsoft, November 2005) referring to writing a VB program in debugger and tweaking it to get desired results. This was referred to as Programming by Accident by the Pragmatic Programmers. But in line with XYZ-Driven Development pattern I decided to introduce a new term: Luck-Driven Development (LDD).
