I've heard this referred to as error driven development. I try to use it when I remember. F2 and alt+Enter in IntelliJ help speed this up as well! Goto next error and the "magical fix my code" key combo.
This also often leads to cleaner code, i.e. methods with code at one level of abstraction, rather than a mix (and often mess)
