EVOKNOW

EVOKNOW currently operates at 12 exaFLOPs. Granted some of the exaFLOPs don't kick in until the afternoon. It is a very creative and friendly environment where employees often find ways to make fun of each other. We have resident photographers, drone pilots, evil phone number and python snake owner, tank for massively multiplayer role-playing games, PC-haters, Apple fanboys, un ethical hackers, aspiring musicians, Rocklink PD volunteer, and of course, the most interesting man from Bangladesh! All our employees work from Rocklin, California. There is an API for it! There seems to be an Application Programming Interface (API) for just about everything we want to build in software. We love consuming the REST API services to speed up our work. Integrating a dozen APIs in any Minimum Viable Product (MVP) or proof of concept (POC) is very common in our shop. The hardest thing in building a software that we are excited about is avoiding feature creeps. Feature for the sake of coolness is so not so cool for doing quick market trials. We have to constantly remind ourselves that a feature with a strong business use-case must outweigh one with limited edge-case even if it is 3x cooler to create. Unfortunately, we often fall for the cool factors, which is bad, really bad!
