 # Mac Development Ansible Playbook
 
-This set of playbooks was originally inspired by [MWGriffin/ansible-playbooks](https://github.com/MWGriffin/ansible-playbooks), but has since been heavily modified, and installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development, as well as my preferred settings for OS X and some of my development applications. Some things in OS X are difficult to get scripted (notably, the Mac App Store), so I still have some manual installation steps, but at least it's all documented here.
+This playbook installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development. Some things in OS X are difficult to automate (notably, the Mac App Store and certain tools from Apple), so I still have some manual installation steps, but at least it's all documented here.
 
 This is a work in progress, and is mostly a means for me to document my current Mac's setup. I'll be adding settings and packages to this set of playbooks over time.
