Puppet vs. Chef

Puppet is like, ‘Oh, here’s a robotic furniture maker. It can make any piece of furniture you desire. But you need to sign an exclusivity agreement that says you’ll only use furniture made by the robotic furniture maker if you buy it.’

Then you buy it and it turns out the only furniture it lets you make it beanbag chairs.

And then you’re fucked.

You have to have a dinner party on a giant beanbag chair.

With little ones as dining room chairs.

And a vaguely rectangular beanbag chair as a sideboard.

And all the plates won’t rest evenly on them and the food just slides off.

And all the wine glasses spill over.

And nobody wants to come to your house ever again.

And you die alone.

That’s Puppet.

Whereas Chef is a 3D nanoprinter that can actually create any kind of furniture you want.

You can unleash it on Jupiter and have it turn the entire mass of the planet into a solar system-sized coat rack.

Via @codyrobbins essentially verbatim.

Balrog sacrifice

Mike: I'm talking like, 60+ year old white beard CS phd's who at this point in their lives want to shave a few milliseconds of compile time off of a sample build of the linux kernel. I mean like, we NEED those guys right?
Cody: Yeah, somebody needs to fall into the pit when the balrog attacks.
