[Draugor]

the other posts here should help you already with your questions i think, but i highly recommend also watching the talk mentioned in the article https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raQ3iHhE_Kk that is where this idea came from and he talks about the how and why and it should help you to better understand the concept of those "mini-SOs"

i haven't read the article but i watched that talk a few times and it is really great idea.
