 In this talk I will discuss an algorithm to piecewise dualise linear quivers into their mirror duals. This applies to the 3d N=4 version of mirror symmetry as well as its recently introduced 4d counterpart, which I will review. The algorithm uses two basic duality moves, which mimic the local S-duality of the 5-branes in the brane set-up of the 3d theories, and the properties of the S-wall. The S-wall is known to correspond to the N=4 T[SU(N)] theory in 3d and I will argue that its 4d avatar corresponds to an N=1 theory called E[USp(2N)], which flows to T[SU(N)] in a suitable 3d limit. All the basic duality moves and S-wall properties needed in the algorithm are derived in terms of some more fundamental Seiberg-like duality, which is the Intriligator--Pouliot duality in 4d and the Aharony duality in 3d.
