cave techies

Another day, another showing of the apartment. This time to a couple who turned up at 10:30 PM.

They were 'programmers', they explained, and used to 'late hours'. Which is amusing - I didn't know there were such 'cave techies' still hanging on, out there.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
