It's stuff like this that gives me a bad taste in my mouth when I think about Chef.

Whenever I've interacted with people from Chef-the-company, I've always gotten the impression that they believe they're talking to me because (at best) they want to save me from my misbegotten ways and join the Chef Way. At worst, I've gotten the impression that they think I'm a terrible person and/or worthless for not just getting with the program and bowing to their wisdom.

I know from other experiences that the Chef community in general is not like that. But Chef itself has never imparted a good experience on me.

It doesn't help that I wholeheartedly agree with the Dear GitHub letter, and get a very bad vibe from this "Dear 'Dear GitHub'" letter.




maybe write a `Dear "Dear 'Dear Github'"` letter"?


At that point I think I'd be a little too derivative. Right now, I'm content to be "Dear GitHub" +1. With apologies, of course.
