#12"brew update
Error: /usr/local is not writable. You should change the ownership and permissions of /usr/local back to your user account: sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local

==> Migrated HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY to /usr/local/Homebrew!
Homebrew no longer needs to have ownership of /usr/local. If you wish you can return /usr/local to its default ownership with: sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local"
You got to love the user experience of this! Thanks Homebrew team. <3
Re: Homebrew 1.0.0
#13There has been a lot of talk in HN comments recently about Homebrew installing to `/usr/local`. With macOS Sierra, the user can no longer write to this folder without specifically owning it. Is there a security risk here and if so, whats the best workaround?
Newer versions install in `/usr/local/Homebrew`, older versions "migrate" there:

#14Homebrew is a huge help that perfectly fills the niche it's intended for. Thanks for all people involved, you're time savers, which is pretty much the most sought after quality of a software project.
Except for loading the Ruby VM. Takes way too long.

Awesome, thanks for that. Would be good for it to be listed on the article. It only tells you that it no longer requires ownership after you have been asked to give it for the migration.

Which is why for certain things like `brew --prefix` we now do it purely in Bash rather than using Ruby ;)

#18Throwback to that one time Google wouldn't hire @mxcl. ;) https://twitter.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768 Well done Mike and contributors! It's a great piece of work.
He couldn't even ${college_level_gotcha}! No wonder he wasn't hired!

#19I'm excited about Homebrew potentially coming to Linux. When I first started using OS X more regularly, I was surprised by how better an experience OS X + Homebrew is compared to Ubuntu/Debian repositories + PPAs/third-party repositories.
