troglodyte mode
<jargon> (Rice University) Programming with the lights turned off,
sunglasses on, and the terminal inverted (black on white) because you've been up
for so many days straight that your eyes hurt (see raster burn). Loud music
blaring from a stereo stacked in the corner is optional but recommended.
See larval stage, hack mode.
