Halloumi is easy peasy, cheddar cheesy... Mergers are another story... When they brought me on they said "we really wanted to buy the engine of your team's output, and we're not looking to change anything about that."

Two months later and practically no aspect of my workflow has been left untouched. I'm rebuilding everything I do from scratch, almost eight years of experience calmly cast aside. Do things our way, end of story.

Hope yours goes more smoothly. 2026 seems to have an infinite appetite for chaos.
