How a Startup is Changing a Legacy Org from the Inside

Tue, Jun 16, 4:30 PM

From Sooner Safer Happier - EMEA (#BVSSH)

4.7

Three and a half years ago, our 17-person startup was acquired by a 4000+ person organisation with a 30-year-old technology estate. We were placed in a new city, a new hub, and an org where teams wouldn't even give us read access to their codebases. This is the honest story of how we went from outsiders to partners — and how a small team with zero positional authority shifted engineering culture across an organisation that had accumulated decades of process debt. What we got right: Starting with empathy instead of expertise. Understanding that past decisions were rational given past constraints. Earning trust through small wins before suggesting any change. Starting with the willing — not trying to boil the ocean. What we got wrong: Trying to introduce an Internal Developer Portal before we had the political capital to navigate process debt — we couldn't even get a VM. The frustration and near-burnout when the org wouldn't let us contribute. The turning point: A RAG system built across 8 teams — 16 languages, 25 countries — that became the first true cross-team collaboration in the org's history. No Agile lead, no scrum ceremonies. People just solved a real problem together. The numbers: Deployment frequency from once every 2 months to every 10 days. Build times down 80%. Excel-sheet environment booking replaced with self-service ephemeral environments. Every new service ships with monitoring, observability, docs, and tests from day zero. The culture shifts: We flattened PR reviews so every dev — not just the EM — gives feedback. Devs and QAs now present directly to stakeholders across 25+ squads. Decision-making moved from a Tech Lead bottleneck to distributed RFCs where anyone can propose and comment. We removed executive offices — everyone sits on the open floor. We introduced 360-degree reviews where none existed. And we built a 2000+ person tech community from zero. Where we are now: Experimenting with 3-person pods working in flow beyond sprints, leveraging AI, solving customer problems daily. Invite over inflict — the teams that adopted these ways of working did so because they saw the outcomes, not because anyone mandated it. This talk is grounded in systems thinking, game theory, Team Topologies, InnerSource. Mostly the talks is around the learnings of hardest engineering problems aren't technical — they're human. AI can write the RFC. It can't build the trust that gets it accepted Takeways: Will leave with practical patterns for influencing organisational change without authority — whether they're a small team inside a large org, or a single leader trying to shift how their corner of the world works. **Jeevan D C** Solving tech problems at scale A problem solver keen on Distributed Systems, System Architecture, Scale, Performance with core expertise in building high throughput, resilient, fault-tolerant applications in multi-cloud environments. Passionate about teaching and mentoring. Got extensive experience in Digital transformation, Cloud migrations, Startup acceleration in Telco, Insurance, Banking domains at scale.

Friday Strategy Board Games at the Coat and Badge, Putney

Fri, Jun 19, 5:30 PM

From West London Games Club

4.8

Strategy Board Games at the The Coat and Badge, Putney. **Is this event for you?** If you have been to a few WLGC events, or are used to playing modern board games with a significant amount of rules, then this event is for you. If not, please join us at our "Beginner Friendly" event every other week. This is an event to play Strategy games which range from medium to heavy in complexity and last 2-4 hours, depending on the game. It can take about 15-30min to teach, again depending on the complexity of the game. I usually advertise which game I am going to bring a few days in advance, as it can be helpful to at least be familiar with the rules. Other gamers may bring another selection of games, so be prepared to be surprised on the day. Here are more details specifically about the Putney events: We’re a friendly, social group that regularly play a range of board games and card games. This event has been running since June 2022 and we have a core group of regular gamers but welcome new members who are looking for a games group to play on a regular or fairly regular basis. Games we play range from, 30min - 1hour games, to the heavier 2-3hour games. We alternate the weeks we play shorter games versus the longer strategy games (check the event title for which type of games are being played). Quicker, fun, social games we play: • Just One https://youtu.be/0DDRxztfJP0?si=QPavmMFE3DFipM-x • Skull King https://youtu.be/xlFHfCqY-5Y?si=X-U1WLP5JOI0oTcB • Planted https://youtu.be/BB5mwXFPrUA?si=oLor8WTSpLUs7B12 • Project L https://youtu.be/EFV-qavWUlE?si=41_XhoZQvWs_9Zp2 • 7 Wonders https://youtu.be/z_Wfdn5Es8U?si=-L3cLo2Uppdip2ow Longer, Strategy games we play: • Lost Ruins of Arnak https://youtu.be/Kg2z4ApABY8?si=l46LNYRjQA_0QoZS • Terraforming Mars https://youtu.be/n3yVpsiVwL8?si=SW7VCdJpnqErKlIO We like to start on time but if you do arrive late, don’t worry, it may mean you have to wait a bit until the next game starts, but we always try to accommodate where we can. If it's Strategy games night, it is more important that we start on time as the games are longer and we want to finish on time. If you know you are going to be late please just let us know your eta. The event is free but please keep in mind that in order to have the space and run the event on a regular basis we need to purchase drinks/food from the venue. Also, please don’t sign up and not show up. Not only do you take up a spot for someone keen to play games but we have limited space that we need to reserve with the venue and no-shows jeopardise our relationship with the venue. Thanks for your understanding. Hope to see you at a games table!!

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

Thu, Jun 18, 5:30 PM

From Write The Docs London

4.7

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.

Break the Pattern

Sat, Jun 13, 11:00 AM

From Disruptive Creativity

Creativity often begins when we stop trying to solve a problem in the most obvious way. In this first practical creativity workshop, we’ll use random words, playful constraints and group exercises to break rigid patterns of thought, loosen fixed assumptions and generate unexpected ideas. Creativity is not just about having good ideas. Often, it is about changing the conditions in which ideas appear. The session takes inspiration from Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s *Oblique Strategies*: a set of creative prompts designed to help artists and other creatives escape blocks, loosen fixed habits and approach problems from unexpected angles. This will be an active, participatory workshop rather than a talk. You’ll work with other people in pairs and small groups, trying out practical exercises and responding to prompts designed to interrupt familiar ways of thinking. The emphasis will be on engagement, experimentation and practical action: having a go, noticing what shifts, and exploring how unusual prompts can open up new possibilities. You do not need to be an artist, designer or creative professional. This workshop is for anyone interested in thinking more flexibly, solving problems differently, or exploring practical creativity in a friendly, hands-on setting.
