Adewale Oshineye is an engineer at a little-known search engine named Google. This is a consequence of many deeply geeky evenings spent programming 8-bit computers when he was a child. When he grew up Adewale somehow fell into IT consultancy. His career at consultancies such as Thoughtworks gave him the chance to work on projects ranging from point-of-sale systems for electrical retailers to trading systems for investment banks. It also gave him a chance to learn from some of the most interesting software craftspeople in Western Europe. In those rare moments when he's not in front of a computer he can be found behind a digital camera somewhere in London.

Why do we bother with APIs?

March 20 2013

Sometimes people wonder why we bother building APIs since it seems they can end up being used in ways that compete with our own products.There are idealistic reasons for building APIs, as outlined by Jonathan Rosenberg, but there are also commercial benefits even if you don't share that philosophy.
