Simon Brown, an independent consultant specializing in software architecture, discusses C4 models as code, a way of creating architecture diagrams in a structured and self-describing way. C4 models consist of a hierarchical set of abstractions, including software systems, containers, components, and code level elements. The four levels of diagrams correspond to these abstractions, allowing for a zoom in and zoom out effect. The concept is similar to maps, where users can see major roads and landmarks zoomed out but can zoom in to see specific details. C4 models are a useful tool for teams who want to create effective and easily understood architecture diagrams.
