I like to say "farmed, not gardened" as a veggie alternative to "cattle, not pets". As in "containers are farmed, not gardened".
No idea if that sounds right to a native speaker, though.
- OJFord 4y agoMade sense to me until you said 'containers', which I immediately read as container plants (approximately always gardened, never farmed) instead of in the runtime sense.
- zenbit 4y agoAppreciate your feedback! I can totally see how you would read it that way. Maybe "servers should be farmed, not gardened" would be less ambiguous. Server farms have been a thing for a long time after all.
- turtleyacht 4y agoThank-you for the suggestion of vegetables. It makes sense to me as a native speaker. If I had to clarify with folks, I'd open with the idea of server "farms" (Microsoft IIS) and then talk about "gardens" as custom setups.
