About
Idavoll Software Engineering is a software company registered in Valença, Bahia. We are small on purpose.
Where the name comes from
From the field of Iðavöllr to systems that outlast us
In Norse mythology, Iðavöllr is the central plain where the gods gathered to plan, to build, and to lay the foundations of a new world. It is the ground of renewal - the place you return to in order to start something that lasts.
We took the name because it describes the part of the work we care about. Most software is written quickly and maintained badly. The interesting problem is the other one: building something that still runs, still makes sense, and can still be changed by someone else three years from now.
Most software studios grow by adding people and selling their hours. That model makes the average engineer on your project more junior every year, and it makes the studio a worse place to work. We would rather stay small and take fewer projects.
In practice that means the people who scope your project are the people who build it. There is no account manager between you and the person writing the code, and no bench to keep busy.
What that means for you
We will tell you not to build it
If the thing you are asking for can be solved with software you already own, or should not be built at all, that is the first thing we will say - before there is an invoice attached to the answer.
Nothing is a black box
You get the repository, the infrastructure and the documentation as we go. Nothing is withheld to make leaving difficult.
We work in the open with you
Weekly written updates in plain language, including the weeks where something did not work.
