These notes have the status of letters written to ourselves: we wrote
them down because, without doing so, we found ourselves making up new
arguments over and over again. So began the abstract of our earlier
paper "Notes on Postmodern Programming". We now revisit the issue
of postmodern programming, and attempt to address some of the
questions raised by our exposition. To illustrate the nature of
postmodernism we do not do this directly, but instead present a
series of snapshots, parodies, and imagined conversations that we hope
will help. What do you think of the abstract so far? Self-reference
and a irreverent approach are part of this topic, so it's important to
chill out and let things flow. We claim that computer science and
software design grew up amid the unquestioned landscape of modernism,
and that too often we cling to the otherwise ungrounded values, even
as modernism itself is ever more compromised.
