DWARVES FORWARD ENGINEERING 2024-2025 Workflows aren’t what they used to be. AI is shifting from sidekick to the one getting things done. Companies are running leaner teams, and putting automation at the core of operations, not as an afterthought. Dwarves Forward Engineering 2024 is built on that mindset—eliminating inefficiencies, automating where it matters, and scaling with purpose. This update covers what we’ve built, what’s in progress, and the market trends driving change. 1/ WHAT WE'VE BUILT Tech discussions from our network - AI-assisted coding: Aider, Cursor, and smarter prompt workflows. - AI-driven blockchain tracking: automating on-chain decisions and logging. - Performance tuning at scale: optimizing DuckDB, faster queries, handling high-volume workloads. Memo knowledge base - Consulting reports: from Gemini 2.0 to DeepSeek’s market impact. - Blockchain engineering: transfer tracking & BTC/Altcoin performance analysis. - Data solutions: archive strategies & PnL reconstruction. 2/ WHAT WE'RE BUILDING AI in development - Coding assistants: refining workflows with Aider and Cursor, improving prompt accuracy. - AI agents: moving beyond simple queries - structured prompts, AI models making real decisions. Performance & data - System optimization: DuckDB tuning, query performance, managing high-volume data. - AI-powered blockchain tracking: enhancing transaction visibility and security. Frontend & Infrastructure - Next-gen frontend tools: React 19 Actions, Next.js on Deno, AI-integrated UI. 3/ MARKET REPORT: AI AGENTS, HIRING TRENDS & CAPITAL SHIFTS AI agents: from no-code to full control - Engineers are moving past no-code AI tools, demand for self-hosted AI is rising. - Model context protocol (MCP) is making AI more responsive and workflow-aware. - AI is no longer just responding, it’s executing: pulling data, making calls, and automating tasks. Hiring trends: AI skills over headcount - AI is replacing repetitive coding - debugging and system-level thinking are in demand. - Remote remains dominant, but leadership roles are shifting hybrid. - AI literacy isn’t optional - knowing how to use AI effectively is the real differentiator. Market moves: Where the money’s going - AI remains the VC magnet, but infrastructure and automation are where the real scaling happens. - China and Korea are pulling back, prioritizing cost-effective strategies. - Blockchain is pivoting: AI-powered DeFi and decentralized computing are the new focus.
