The main problem for me (who am interested in cooking, as well as somewhat au fait with version control) is that at this point in my life, I could not for the life of me write down a recipe for almost anything that I cook, because it is all based on "enough" and "to taste", with cooking times being in the "well, you look at the ingredients and a cooking schedule effortlessly forms in your mind" (none, by the way, based on actual time), allowing me to do things like cooking things in the oven and three or four pots on the stove, and have everything ready at the same time, by staggering the start times.

And I literally cannot tell you how I do it, because at this point, I don't know. I do know how I got there, though. Cooking, lots of it, at various scales and in variously equipped kitchens.

Scale-wise, I have cooked for 1. And on the upper end, I have cooked for about 50.
