> requiring gems in recipe code was bad practice

is there any background reading on this? i find we use chef_gem for chef-rewind and `require 'chef/rewind'` quite often, but this would seem to indicate there's a better practice. if so, i'd love to hear more about it as this is the first time it's crossed my radar.

A potential solution might be to wrap those sorts of things in backticks, to avoid triggering the italicizing behavior (which I suspect is Markdown of some sort), and preserve these programmy things.

I think that the blog interpreting underscores as italics is a bit wonky when so many chef things are blah_blah2. I'm not sure if it just needs to be edited to syntax-highlight/format those keywords, or if you're better off disabling that auto-italic feature, but the text as stands is definitely confusing visually, even if I can intuit what is meant.
