At the end of 2021, starting with engineering practices, the core idea behind creating a software design group is to enable engineers to develop the skills required to become software architects.

Understanding and conveying software architecture can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with non-technical stakeholders or diverse development teams. This article delves into the challenges of traditional methods like complex UML diagrams and non-descriptive box-and-line drawings. We introduce the C4 model, a powerful framework that simplifies these challenges by using layered abstractions and visualizations. Explore how the model breaks down software architecture into comprehensible levels, Context, Container, Component, and Code, and offers guidelines on creating effective diagrams. Real-world examples illustrate the application of the C4 model, making it an invaluable tool for creating a shared understanding and ensuring clear, meaningful communication among all parties involved.

Prototype, one of the creational patterns, minimize efforts when recreating new from the exist object by cloning the 'prototype' of it.

As systems scale to meet growing demands, databases must evolve alongside them to maintain performance and integrity. This document explores best practices for managing database changes, maintaining knowledge, and ensuring smooth integration. Topics covered include knowledge sharing, repository structuring, continuous integration, and database refactoring, with real-world examples illustrating their application.

As we enter a new year, I want to reflect on the role that software has played in my life. For Dwarves 2.x, our goal has always been to be a borderless software firm. As we move into 2022, we are one step closer to achieving this goal. We strive to operate in new and efficient ways, different from the rest. Some of us are working with our peers to help ship their software, while others are building their own projects and striving for excellence. We are all making our way towards achieving excellence in our field.

Happy 2023

2022 matched us with the 80th Dwarves. A notable highlight, and we're ready to have more. It's not easy to find people that has the same value. It takes true & solid seeks.

Road to 100
