    I’m a programmer. In 2010 I had a boss come up to me and tell me we should start using APIs. He had just read an article about how APIs were the next big thing. Fortunately he had a short attention span and soon wandered off and never mentioned APIs again, and I was able to get back to work on the awesome Blackberry app I was writing.

      Don’t leave the rest of us in suspense; should we be using APIs???

      I think the best possible response to a question like this is just to say “yes”, and refuse to elaborate further.
