From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   larval stage n.   Describes a period of monomaniacal
   concentration on coding apparently passed through by all fledgling
   hackers.   Common symptoms include the perpetration of more than one
   36-hour {hacking run} in a given week; neglect of all other
   activities including usual basics like food, sleep, and personal
   hygiene; and a chronic case of advanced bleary-eye.   Can last from 6
   months to 2 years, the apparent median being around 18 months.   A
   few so afflicted never resume a more `normal' life, but the ordeal
   seems to be necessary to produce really wizardly (as opposed to
   merely competent) programmers.   See also {wannabee}.   A less
   protracted and intense version of larval stage (typically lasting
   about a month) may recur when one is learning a new {OS} or
   programming language.
