Comments on the clue
1.I get the anagram indicator (would XYZ glitch?) but to call a technojunkie a "being (who is) into computers" is a bit strange
2.'would' needed for surface reading but spoils the cryptic element.
3.I can't find any evidence of 'glitch' as a verb.
4."Would" doesn't seem to fit
5.'would' is intrusive
6.Definition seems too narrow, 'would' is superfluous to wordplay and 'glitch' isn't an anagram indicator.
