And many people see computers just as the magic internet box.

If all you see the article as is info on cooking, I'm of the opinion that you're missing the point.

The last line of the article points this out - mise-en-place is about optimizing for consistency/efficiency in $THING_YOU_CARE_ABOUT

Sure. Like I worked at a company that spent months on design docs and design reviews. Like that? Everything was nicely set up. It was great. Super effective.

Because software is just about following repeatable recipes to produce identical results, day after day after day?

I agree that having one tools organized is a good idea. I disagree with the rest of it. Specifically I don't think cooking is a useful analogy, because it is the antithesis of software development.
