Using Ruby to Automate Your Life

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Shows concrete automation: uses Chef and the Ruby DSL to replace Capistrano-style deploys and to provision laptops, EC2 and Vagrant boxes. Claims Chef runs as a service that pulls master and deploys, manages packages (DMGs, Homebrew), installs multiple rubies, sets desktop prefs, and recreates infrastructures. Demonstrates a real laptop provisioning repo of roughly 147 lines of code that reproduces installs and works idempotently and cross‑platform.
