Just wanted to announce the release of a new cookbook called Magic
Supermarket: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/magic
GitHub: https://github.com/sczizzo/magic-cookbook
These ideas came out of some experiments with cookbook design.
We tasked ourselves with architecting cookbooks that push nearly
everything up into attributes, and we ended up with more flexible
and yet robust recipes. Things are looking more declarative, and
we find ourselves actually fighting less with details like attribute
precedence.
It’s still fairly awkward, but I hope these ideas spark something!
