Biography

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.

What did I learn in 2009?

January 02 2010

I attended both Software Craftsmanship conferences and as a result I now see software craftsmanship as a 'movement' in the same sense as Impressionism. In other words it's a group of very loosely affiliated people who are linked by overlapping values rather than rigid adherence to some set of rules.… read more
