Come along and grab a drink! 6:35pm - 🗣️ Introduction 6:40pm - 🗣️ Przemysław Pokrywka: Ports and Adapters for People on Tight Schedules 7:20pm - 🍕 Intermission: Join us for some free food and drinks!

Terms such as architecture astronautics and the ivory tower stereotype highlight the perceived disconnect between many architects and the realities of day-to-day code maintenance. Too often, architectural patterns are applied with insufficient understanding, leading to cargo-cult adoption and increased waste in the software development process. When applied in the right context, however, certain architectural approaches can be powerful enablers. In this talk, I would like to share the story of a serverless application in which elements of the Ports and Adapters architecture made a tangible, positive difference. ⭐ Przemysław Pokrywka ⭐ Husband, dad, grandad, software engineer. Functional Scala enthusiast with imperative OOP Java background. Fan of the command line. **🗣️ David Lebl: Complexity is a Sin, But Hexagons Forgive** A visual journey from spaghetti to sanity. This talk traces how cognitive load accumulates in unconstrained codebases, how domain-driven design and bounded contexts restore order, and how hexagonal architecture provides a practical, forgiving structure for real-world systems — all laid out on a single zoomable canvas where every example links back to the bigger picture. ⭐ David Lebl ⭐ David is a software developer with a CS background and 5 years of Scala and FP experience. He leads a small team, occasionally survives his own accidental complexity, and is here to share what he learned the hard way. ———————————————————— 🗣️ Would you like to present, but are not sure how to start?

Rock the Docs: Applying music theory and band dynamics to technical writing

The discotheque gets disco-technical, as Marco Spinello, technical writer at [Booking.com](Booking.com) shows us how music theory can be applied to documentation, using examples from both his professional and creative life. This light-hearted look at technical writing will cover: * Why Git is like a metronome * Why managing stakeholders is not unlike managing band members * Why recording an album is not unlike delivering an MVP **Rock the Docs** tells the story of a disco band that shrank from eight members to a power trio. Not unlike a company reorganisation with a built-in product pivot. Music and technical writing have more in common than meets the eye; music theory maps the territory like information architecture, a metronome enforces discipline like git, and song dynamics prevent the "wall of text" effect of very long, very dense docs. Guitar tone becomes tone of voice, equalization adjusts it per content type, and effects act as admonitions that highlight key sections. The band recording is their MVP, scoped and time-boxed, just like any good documentation deliverable. More details TBC! Please note that the agenda is approximate and subject to change. This event is kindly hosted by [Wise](https://wise.com/). **📅Agenda** **When:** Thursday, 18 June, from 6:30pm **Where:** Wise, 65 Clifton Street, London EC2A 4JE. **What:** 18:30 - 19:00 Arrival 19:00 - 19:15 Welcome & Housekeeping 19:30 - 20:00 Marco Spinello Rocks the Docs 20:00 - 20:30 Networking **📍**How to find us: Please head to Wise, 65 Clifton Street, London EC2A 4JE, from 6:30pm onwards -- one of the friendly Write The Docs London team will be checking guests in. 🌎 Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/r6zdmeDKhyAbLbaf7 📜 What3Words: ///lift.send.curiosity 📷 **Photos:** Please note that the organizers may take some photos for the WTD group.

REJECTS 2026 art exhibition then a walk through the Portobello market

**Celebrate the art that almost made it.** 🥁 This Meetup takes us to REJECTS, a unique exhibition showcasing outstanding artworks that didn’t make it into this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Featuring painting, sculpture, photography, textiles and mixed media, the show shines a spotlight on talented artists whose work deserves to be seen, sparking a fascinating conversation about creativity, recognition and who gets to decide what makes the cut. 🎨 Set inside a charming former bakery on Portobello Road, the exhibition offers the chance to discover bold, thought-provoking works by both emerging and established artists - and perhaps find a few pieces you think the judges got wrong. [Admission is free but a ticket is required. Please book here for Saturday 20th June. ](https://www.ticketsource.com/booking/select/vxmwlmadaddq) **We will meet at The Bakery: Artist-run Gallery - 82D Portobello Road, London, W11 2QD, England** [More info about the exhibition here.](https://www.ticketsource.com/art-friend/rejects-2026-general-admission/2026-06-20/10:00/t-zooedox) ☕️ After the exhibition, we’ll take a relaxed stroll through the famous Portobello Market, where those who wish can stop for coffee, drinks, pastries or a bite to eat while continuing the conversation and enjoying one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Everyone welcome 🙂 Important to note: 1. We typically socialise at cafés after the exhibit, nice, independent ones, not chains and not at pubs. If the event is late on a Saturday we go to a nice bar/pub for drinks after. This meetup is inclusive and everyone is welcome to join. 2. If you get there and you’re not sure what to do or where we are, post a comment on here and I will let you know our whereabouts. 3. Once we go in we may separate, feel free to explore the exhibit by yourself, we don’t have to be together. Some people like chatting to others while exploring and other people prefer to be with their own thoughts. You are welcome to express yourself and do what feels most comfortable. 4. If you are late or if you’ve booked for an earlier or later time don’t worry just go in and you’ll find us inside. Keep an eye on the comments as I’ll be posting updates.
