Comment on The Manifesto of the Futurist Programmers

Comments

How does he become a futurist by basing his manifesto on the old, decrepit, failed movement of futurism?

This movement's so old the Catholic church made it one of the seven deadly sins, called "pride of life."

Movements with temporal names can retain their meaning even after the passage of time. Futurism, Modernism, and Postmodernism all have specific meanings and refer to movements past their peak. You have a problem with that?

It's ironic because the author makes the same kind of dismissal I just made. That's my point.
