London AI Cost Hack #1: Lowest Cost Wins

Thu, Jul 30, 4:30 PM

From London AI Cost Hackers

Spend an evening making an AI workflow as cheap as possible with engineers, founders, investors, and whoever else is interested in cutting their AI costs. Pizza included, £100 prize for the winner with the cheapest workflow. [Merge](https://merge.dev) is providing credits and swag for Merge Gateway, their product for LLM routing and cutting AI costs. The venue is All Saints, a church near King's Cross station: [https://www.kingshouse.org.uk/allsaints](https://www.kingshouse.org.uk/allsaints) Rough schedule: * 5:30 PM: Doors open, pizza and setup * 6:00 PM: Kickoff, challenge reveal and hacking * 8:00 PM: Submissions, scoring and demos * 8:40 PM: Winners and wrap-up; leave by 9:00 PM We’ll give you a description of an software engineering workflow, starter code, an eval set. Use whatever works to run the workflow and make it cheaper while passing the evals. Try [Merge](https://merge.dev) Gateway and see how cheap you can get! Push to a public git repo and I'll run the hidden eval set. Out of the solutions that pass, the cheapest one wins. The prize is £100 and a (very) firm handshake from a partner at a venture capital fund. Example workflow: an AI code reviewer that reads pull requests, checks for bugs and security issues, decides how risky it is, and writes a review. The baseline sends the full diff to a large model every time, including for typo fixes and dependency bumps. How much of that can you replace with smaller models, routing, rules, or local inference without making the reviewer useless? The actual challenge will be similar but a bit harder. Bring a laptop and come either solo or with a team. The venue is nut-free because some staff have serious allergies. Please don’t bring anything containing nuts. Thanks.

Cloud Native London, August 2026

Wed, Aug 5, 5:00 PM

From Cloud Native London

4.5

Hi folks! Welcome to our August Cloud Native London meetup! Join us to hear from our three great speakers and network with your fellow techies over pizza and drinks, or alternatively chat and following along on Youtube or LinkedIn! 6:00 Pizza and drinks 6:30 Welcome 6:45 Agents as Products (Tom Robbins, heytavi.com) 7:15 Scaling Btrfs in an enterprise (Motiejus Jakštys, Palo Alto Networks / Chronosphere) 7:45 Wrap up See you there! Cheryl (@oicheryl) **Agents as Products (Tom Robbins, heytavi.com)** Building better harnesses can help you make the most of LLMs, but many of the things that make agents truly useful - reliability, intuitive interfaces, integration into third party systems, and solid data primitives - draw on many of the same things it takes to build great SaaS products. These are the things I've learned building HeyTavi, an agent that lives in Slack built for recruiters and hiring managers. We mix traditional microservice architecture with a new idea inspired by OpenClaw and cloud coding agents: providing each customer with an always-on VM with persistent storage. This blurs the lines between being ""frontend"" or ""backend"". We propose the name ""nanoservice"" - meaning a service that runs 24/7 and serves a single customer, and over which the customer must be assumed to have full control. *Tom has been writing software for nearly 2 decades. Ex-Citymapper, with a stint in life sciences writing AI software for most of the major global pharma companies. Now he's building HeyTavi, an AI coworker for hiring managers and recruiters that lives in Slack. He can be found on X at @RobbinsTom4867* **Scaling Btrfs in an enterprise (Motiejus Jakštys, Palo Alto Networks / Chronosphere)** Btrfs was merged into the Linux kernel in 2009, arriving with bold promises --- and, let's be honest, a reputation for instability. I first tried it on my laptop in 2011. It wiped my data. Twice. On the bright side, it taught me the value of backups. Fast forward to 2025: btrfs is no longer the experimental filesystem of the past. It's stable, mature, feature-rich, and fully part of the Linux kernel. But old reputations die hard. I'll share the decision-making process, key performance and reliability insights, and the quirks you only discover when running btrfs at scale, and how we adopted it for petabytes of customer data. *Motiejus Jakštys works in the database team at Palo Alto Networks / Chronosphere. He is also a cartographer, creating maps for no particular reason. Maybe it has something to do with him liking long hikes, but he's not sure.* *He is running a beefy server in a closet at home, because he likes talking about servers with his kids.* *You can find out a bit more about him on his personal website at [https://m.jakstys.lt](https://m.jakstys.lt)* *Check out [https://www.oicheryl.com/cloudnativelondon](https://www.oicheryl.com/cloudnativelondon) if you're interested in speaking or sponsoring.*

#WPLDN - July 2026: Our 150th Event! Accessibility, Identity & the Agentic Web

Thu, Jul 30, 5:00 PM

From #WPLDN - delivering WordPress-focused events in London

4.8

Join us for the 150th #WPLDN event. One hundred and fifty evenings of free, community-driven WordPress talks feels worth marking, so we're doing it with three sessions rather than the usual two. We're covering whether WordPress dropdown menus can ever be truly accessible, the business case for understanding why you do what you do, and what happens to your site when the visitor is an AI agent rather than a person. 📅 **Date:** 30 July 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:30 PM BST (doors from 6:00 PM) 🎟️ **Cost:** Free (Registration **Session 1: WordPress dropdown menus - Can they be truly accessible?** 🤝 **Speaker:** Graham Armfield ([Coolfields Consulting](https://www.coolfields.co.uk)) If your site runs to more than a handful of pages, you're almost certainly using dropdown or flyout submenus. WordPress themes have offered a whole range of approaches over the years, but how many of them actually work for everyone? Graham walks through the patterns commonly found in WordPress themes and assesses the level of accessibility each one delivers. Expect a clear-eyed look at what passes, what doesn't, and what to do about it. Graham is a Web Accessibility Consultant and the founder of Coolfields Consulting, where he tests websites for accessibility and advises designers and developers on fixing the issues found. He writes and delivers detailed accessibility training for developers, is a WordPress developer who has built accessible sites for clients large and small, and has contributed to the Make WordPress Accessible Team. He's spoken on accessibility at WordCamps and WordPress events for years, and he's been part of the #WPLDN story for a good chunk of those 150 events. Outside of work, you'll likely find him playing guitar, recording his next album, or at a local open mic night. **Session 2: Owning Your Why: The Only Constant in a World of Change** 🤝 **Speaker:** Raquel Manriquez ([PressConf](https://pressconf.events)) The only constant in your business isn't the strategy, the stack, or the team. It's the why underneath them. In this candid session, Raquel starts with the question most of us avoid: Who am I actually, and moves to the business case for answering it. The boundaries that hold because you know what you're protecting. The decisions that come quickly because you're not weighing up other people's opinions of you. The steadiness that comes from being someone, rather than just doing things. Raquel is the founder of WonderlandCurious, a tech event consultancy focused on innovative, people-first experiences. A longtime leader in the WordPress ecosystem, she founded the WooCommerce agency Mode Effect and led it for a decade before a successful exit in 2020. Today she channels that community experience into PressConf, a conference built around candid, unrecorded conversations among the leaders shaping the WordPress economy. A perpetually curious soul, Raquel believes deeply in the power of meaningful connection wherever her feet land. Outside of work, she's a recent graduate of full-time parenthood and enjoys music, the outdoors, wanderlust, and time with her big, Indigenous family. **Session 3: Preparing WordPress sites for the agentic web** 🤝 **Speaker:** Daphne Monro ([LearnToTrade](https://learntotradegroup.com)) AI agents don't just rank pages. They call APIs, parse structured data, evaluate trust signals, and increasingly complete actions on behalf of users. Daphne explores what that shift means for WordPress: exposing clean, structured data through schema and feeds, building product and shopping setups that are machine-readable, keeping APIs and endpoints stable and well documented, and preparing content for retrieval, summarisation, and transaction. The focus is on building sites that agents can confidently interpret, cite, and act through, not just crawl, and positioning brands for a web where software is often the primary interface. Daphne is Head of Brand at LearnToTrade, where she leads brand strategy, content, and community - building the authority and social proof that earn a brand its place through education, credibility, and community. With over a decade in SEO, CRO, and content leadership (across endless industries from tech and luxury, to pet care and personal health) she's developed a data-driven approach to brand building, and now channels that into GEO and agentic, AI-powered marketing workflows. **Schedule:** 🔹 **6:00 PM** – Doors Open & Networking 🔹 **6:30 PM** – Welcome & Session 1: Graham Armfield 🔹 **7:15 PM** – Session 2: Raquel Manriquez 🔹 **7:45 PM** – Short Break & Networking 🔹 **7:55 PM** – Session 3: Daphne Monro 🔹 **8:30 PM** – Q&A, Social & Wrap-Up 📢 **RSVP Now!** Three sessions, one milestone, and the usual good company. Whether you come for the accessibility deep dive, the honest conversation about why you do what you do, or the look at where the agentic web takes us next, there's plenty to take away.
