code by candlelight

Programming through the night to finish a project.

The phrase can also be used to make light of outdated programming practices.

1. We'll just work on it all night until we finish. It'll be fun - we'll code by candlelight, like they did in the olden days.

2. Damn... QBasic? Was this coded by candlelight? Did you have to carve it in a stone tablet?

Konami Code

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. A cheat code common to most classic Konami games, which gave the code its nickname. The code itself has become a symbol of old-school and/or arcade gaming. Punk group "The Ataris" named a song after the code on their album, "End Is Forever." Ironically, the Konami Code never made an appearance on an Atari console.

Devil's Night

October 30. A Detroit-area "tradition" originally centered around pranks like egging windows and cars, destroying property, or TP'ing houses; in the mid 1970s these relatively harmless but annoying acts were mostly replaced by widespread arson, peaking in the 1980s when up to 800 fires would be reported in a single night. More recently, the city has organized a so-called "Angel's Night," where volunteers patrol neighborhoods to prevent and report crimes. The effort has been somewhat effective, and is taken so seriously that news stations almost never use the original term anymore, in an attempt to show support for the volunteers.

You might want to stay in... it's Devil's Night, after all.

script kiddie

n. (Hacker Lingo) One who relies on premade exploit programs and files ("scripts") to conduct his hacking, and refuses to bother to learn how they work. The script kiddie flies in the face of all that the hacker subculture stands for - the pursuit of knowledge, respect for skills, and motivation to self-teach are just three of the hacker ideals that the script kiddie ignores. While anyone can be a script kiddie, generally they are teenagers who want the power of the hacker without the discipline or training involved. Obviously anyone who follows this route aspires to be a blackhat, but most refuse to even dignify them with this term; "blackhat" generally implies having skills of your own.

Other common terms for the ubiquitous script kiddie are lamer, llama, jackass, pre-pubescent ten-year-old, and of course the most unique, asshat.
