Too funny. I sure hope this is satire. Personally, I find writing chef recipes, building cookbooks, defining roles and managing the attributes of systems to be more of a beautiful art and craft than managing systems individually. To me, automating infrastructure feels more like a beautiful masterpiece than building one-off servers that are poorly documented and rarely configured the same.

It's an amazing thing to "knife vsphere vm clone" and "knife bootstrap" a system! Even though I built and implemented our automated architecture I'm still amazed every time I have a precise production system in under 5 minutes servicing client requests.

I think Chef may have found the equivalent to my systems administration G-Spot =P
