my contribution: public_method_that_only_deep_merge_should_use
https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/68dd5f42273f19bc5975c0dc8e...
that was 9 years ago and it was code smell that things were broken apart incorrectly and at some point i rewrote it so that wasn't necessary -- but sometimes you just gotta move the ball down the field, even if you don't get a first down.

Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
I've found the Chef project (https://github.com/chef/chef) to be high quality and easily readable but I've been working with Chef for like 8 years at this point which might be influencing how I view it.
Hashicorp projects also seem very well done too especially given how extensible they are.

Faster module tests with Facter 4 and rspec-puppet
We started by decoupling Puppet from Facter as much as we could, introducing the possibility of having multiple Facter backends. While Puppet would use the default Facter implementation when running on its own, external users would be able to define and pass their own Facter implementation when initializing Puppet, similar to how puppetserver configures Puppet to use its JRuby-compliant HTTP client.
