New Chef users expect community cookbooks to just work
Especially the Chef maintained cookbooks
This is not the current state of things
This leads to sadness
We must repair it
People copy patterns
The status quo cannot be allowed to continue
Common pain points https://www.flickr.com/photos/kwl/4595324641
Platform and version support
Weak scoping
No standard interface
Compilation phase work
Needing chef-rewind
Attributes and precedence
Pattern proliferation
The path out of the darkness https://www.flickr.com/photos/71267357@N06/15864687537

systems beliefs! behaviors
Standardize interfaces
Eliminate the pain points
Focus on resources
Make it super easy! to write resources
Ship resources for ALL THE THINGS
Copy better patterns
Make it fucking delightful

data resource pattern
Later techniques focused on isolation
Resource pattern isolation
None
private recipes by convention
Resource data isolation
None
None
We now have decision logic in our interface
Default values often need to be computed
Doing this in the interface leads to sorrow
