progasm
 /proh'gaz.m/, n.

   [University of Wisconsin] The euphoria experienced upon the completion
   of a program or other computer-related project. For example, the rush
   you get when you finally run the code you've been hacking for the past
   week and it works first time. (The quality of the experience is
   directly proportional to the complexity of the code and inversely
   proportional to the amount of debugging it took to get the code
   working.) Compare {geekasm}.
