Chef rarely appears on its own. 81.4% of these developers also work with Python, and the rest of the common pairings are JavaScript (78.7%), Bash / Shell (76%) and Ruby (65.3%). Searching for one of those alongside Chef narrows the pool without losing the people who would actually be a fit.
A typical Chef developer in the index made 44 public contributions over the last twelve months across 48 public repositories. That median is the useful filter: it separates people who write Chef regularly from people who listed it once.
23 countries have enough Chef developers in the index to break out separately, so you can start from a location rather than filtering down to one.
