Geekwire reports that Puppet, the company behind the eponymous configuration management software, is set to expand to Seattle, Sydney and Singapore. The company already has offices in Belfast and Portland.

Chef, perhaps Puppet's great rival in the burgeoning field known as DevOps, is headquartered in Seattle, which sets up an interesting battle for talent over the next few years. A lot of Bay Area companies have opened up offices in Seattle after tiring of the talent wars in California [...]

If you have used either or both of Puppet or Chef, how has it worked out for you? If you've tried both, which did you decide to use and what influenced your decision?

    The public transit system is poor and the people-moving industry is ripe for disruption.

    As in needing a replacement that engineers can be helpful with (ie job..) ?

    It's the most diverse city in the country.

    In ideas or race tension?

    Then it is of course Texas which has it's own set of values perhaps not so compatible with free thinkers?
    Having a recent statute banning the sales of dildos and other sexual toys is a sign screaming "HEY RETARDS HERE!". Alabama sure is competing in this field.

    Yes, "ripe for disruption" means there's an opportunity, as always.

    I don't know the racial tension of which you speak. Houston is by many measures the most racially diverse city in the US.

    This recent statute banning dildos in Texas needs a citation, please. Are you calling 1973 recent or its resounding defeat in the courts in 2008?

      In what way is the current system inadequate? and in what way should it be improved?

      I don't know the racial tension of which you speak. Houston is by many measures the most racially diverse city in the US.

      And this works without a unproportional number robberies, assaults and rape compared with other similar sized cities?

      The defeat in courts in 2008 probably put a final (for now) lid on it. But it shouldn't need to dealt by courts at all. It's completely private matter. What happens between consenting adults in private areas is of no business to others. Or in this case between one adult an a machine that doesn't even a AI.
