i remember i read an article under the same title, that said more or less that postmodern programming, is googling for code snippet to paste in your ide or framework and all the effort you will do is configure and glue stuff together sounded cool at the time
Really? I think that sounds like a dreadful way to code anything useful.
I misread the titles as "Postmortem Programming" and clicked on it...

I've been assigned to my first Java project at work, and during training they would show how much you could do without 'coding'. I guess editing XML files and inserting program code in the strings of said XML files isn't technically 'coding', where I guess 'coding' means writing scary Java code with, you know, type checking and relvant error messages and stuff. Why I need to be able to redefine the class name of our 'beans' internal to the working of our system using a user editable configuration file is beyond me.

I didn't read beyond the first few sections of the post, but it wasn't really clear to me how it relates to postmodernism (ctl-f "modern" didn't turn anything up either). If you're interested in a paper attempting to actually relate postmodernism and programming, the best I've read can be found by querying your local search engine for [Notes on Postmodern Programming].

Glad that I'm far from that project now.

Perl, the first postmodern computer language
Though its a bit deeper than your summary so perhaps not.
If he had replaced "post modernism" with the term "post structuralism" he would have realised he should not write the piece from the get go.
