No, the above poster is pointing out the dishonesty in claiming that Chef has the ability to stop family separation and detainment.

Regarding the deleted Ruby gems: I think it's unprofessional for developers to try and bring down production services just because they disagree with a company move. It's also a bit immature.

This is common 'tech guy' thinking where an action is immoral and impossible unless it can be generalized to apply to every situation for all time. It's bullshit though. That isn't how life works, it's not a humane standard to hold people to, and no one does it. You make judgements. The squeaky wheel gets noticed.

I took the liberty of invoking Godwin's Law and re-purposed this template, it should make you consider how weak this statement really is. """ While I understand that many of you and many of our community members would prefer we had no business relationship with the Third Reich, I have made a principled decision, with the support of the IBM executive team, to work with the institutions of our government, regardless of…
