Who says developers only know their way around code?
This week, we swapped our keyboards for chopping boards and headed to the
Mediterranean Culinary Academy for an evening of team bonding, culinary school style. Walking into the kitchen felt a bit like stepping into a live cooking show. A large professional kitchen and seven fully prepped stations. Each one was neatly laid out with fresh ingredients and shiny utensils just waiting to be used. Think MasterChef: Tech Edition.

We split into teams of two, claimed our stations, tied our aprons (some more confidently than others) and waited for our instructions.

Cool, calm and clearly in control.
She demonstrated step one. We watched carefully. She stopped. We scrambled to copy
Step by step, we followed along, a little behind schedule at times, occasionally overthinking the wine situation, but fully committed.

And then… the big moment
Plates were served. We gathered around one big table and tasted the results of our teamwork. Some dishes were slightly overcooked. Some were a little undercooked. And some? Absolutely spot on. 👌
The real win wasn’t perfection
It was all about the laughter, the collaboration and discovering that debugging code and cooking ragù actually have a lot in common: follow the process, trust your team and don’t panic when things get a little heated.Same team. Different tools. Still building something great together. ❤️
