Ivan, guys, why encumber such an attractive idea with such an awful handle? I mean to say, the brief description given as the rubric for this site is of a ...
Hi Keith, sorry - Nat and I had a similar conversation, and couldn't come up with a better name. It's just too catchy - and I think it really is appropriate...
I think the catchiness is important at this stage. It's not a new idea. That's the point of postmodernism isn't it. Or is it? I don't know. I've heard...

I've just come across the group, via the fledgling conference site. However, I don't know anything about your ideas that the tag refers to. Can someone post a...

... Oh? Wasn't the writing of manifestos very much a characteristic of the *modern* movement? ;-) Keith...
Hi Keith, OK - no manifesto. I've added a brief description of what I mean by postmodern programming on the web site. Nat - please edit to suit. I was...
I should add - at least one reason why that attempt at a tag-line is so feeble is that if MDA was any use for a particular situation then a postmodern...
I hate threaded media. Ivan, "predjudices" in an interesting word to use as regards my strong negative feelings for the term "postmodern"...do you really think...
So, bringing my own case of Shiny Object Syndrome to the party... I'm doing some teaching on a Tools and Environments course at UCL next year, which I'm...
Can someone please help me? I seem to have a blind spot on the acronims mentioned here. The most intelligable result I get from googling 'STFU and JFCI', are...
Agreed. One of the worst parts of the XP propagation is the way that Do The Simplest Thing has turned from a design Koan to make you think again into an excuse...

It's a masters, so they should be a bit more competent than the average undergraduate. I was thinking of cutting the problem way down so they stand a chance of...
