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.

    The US is evil in many ways. It's just that the likes of Iran/North Korea make the USA look like paradise. Which is a scary thought.

    The USA's constitution was written and amended multiple times, usually to clarify even more freedoms for the people. The USA has strayed greatly from that original concept. Government for the people by the people. Then again, maybe the people are more like Trump than we'd like to admit.
