A developer of some Ruby Gems pulled the code as a statement against certain entities (Department of Homeland Security — DHS) ultimately using the code. Chef gets owned in the process.
ZDNet has a good rundown of the incident:

It seems that developers at chef may have used an old copy of the dev's code to get things back up and running again, which seems like exactly the wrong approach.

While I tend to agree with you, I have to ask: what wall?
The orange moron has not managed to get any of his wall built, just some repairs and replacement of a very small(like his hands) section of existing barrier. What a total loser...sad.

It's quite the replacement.
There were little 6-foot fences made of wire and perforated sheet metal, and there were anti-vehicle barriers that anybody could walk through. Now we have 500 miles of nice new barrier. Most of it is 18 feet or 30 feet high, with big fat bars as thick as human legs. It's quite respectable.
The dude redid a third of the border despite America's congressional enemies making things difficult. That is quite the feat.

500 miles??? Holy shit you'll accept any BS as fact that they spew at you on that propaganda channel. Try 13 miles [bbc.com], which hasn't even been built yet.
And don't be too impressed with any of this on account of the way he is trying to do it is unconstitutional and against the law, particularly telling subordinates to knowingly break the law and unlawfully seize property and that he would pardon them if they get arrested and charged.
And how much of this is Mexico paying for? That was the foundation of that campaign promise. Building it to fulfill a promise doesn't count when you don't fulfill the promise.
