[chef] Magic Cookbook

[Sean Clemmer < >]

Just wanted to announce the release of a new cookbook called Magic

Supermarket: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/magic

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!
