We are back with some more geeky goodness on Weds, 23rd Oct. As always you can expect some great tech talk from London's top engineering and entrepreneurial talent along with a mountain of beer and pizza.

The plan:
18:30 - Beers and pizza
19:00 - Sponsors and introductions by Andrea Hubert
19:15 - Ian Ozsvald: High Performance Python: Techniques for achieving C and Fortran speeds when number crunching
19:35 - Harry Marr: Docker - The Future of Application Deployment
19:55 - break
20:15 - Marco Cecconi: Architecture of StackOverflow -- the TL;DR
20:35 - Sleepyfox: Refactoring: People
21:00 - pub http://www.thewindmillinthecity.com/

Apologies, if you were looking forward to the talk by Rodolfo Rosini. Due to some terrible planning in part, he is not actually in the country today. He will be joining us at another event soon.

Sadly Sanderson Jones is away on tour promoting Sunday Assembly. Our compere for the evening will be the brilliant Andrea Hubert.

Secret Sales: When you finish a feature, can you release it with confidence right away, or do you have to wait days or weeks to find out what users think?

In addition, we are a team of generalising specialists, ready at the drop of a hat to refine an algorithm, write a tricky integration test, tune a SQL query, or discuss feature nuances with a product manager. We hold regular retrospectives to improve our working environment and lightning talks to share cool ideas whether work-related or not.
