[UK] A {wannabee} or early {larval stage} hacker who spends most of
his or her time wandering the directory tree and writing {noddy}
programs just to get a fix of computer time. Variants include
terminal jockey, console junkie, and {console jockey}. The term
console jockey seems to imply more expertise than the other three
(possibly because of the exalted status of the {console} relative to
an ordinary terminal). See also {twink}, {read-only user}.
Appropriately, this term was used in the works of William S.
Burroughs to describe a heroin addict with an unlimited supply.
