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The phrase can also be used to make light of outdated programming practices.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