  my script will never:
  - go down
  - require an upgrade
  - force me to migrate
  - surprise me
  - keep me up at night
Oh my sweet summer child.

but my server will:

  - require direct source code access
  - require go build tools
  - require maintaining GitHub auth
  - require upgrading build tools over time
  - not be trivial to rebuild on failure

> The phrase “sweet summer's child" became a popular way of describing an innocent, naive person (especially among American writers) during the early Victorian era. It was used by a number of authors during the 1840s, notably:- Fredrika Bremer (1840), James Staunton Babcock (1849) in The West Wind and Mary Whitaker (1850) in The Creole. It has been used in a number of other novels, poems and speeches (especially by US authors) throughout the 20th century. "The West Wind," by James Staunton Babcock, New York, 1849::Thy home is all around,:Sweet summer child of light and air,:Like God's own presence, felt, ne'er found,: A Spirit everywhere! The 1996 fantasy novel A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin adapted this former usage for a passage in which a young boy is called a "sweet summer child" by an old woman, since seasons last years in the novel's world and he has yet to experience winter. It was later popularized by its use in the episode "Lord Snow " (2011) of the television adaptation Game of Thrones .

My sweet summer child, you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic and rhetorical?

It's an expression that implies that someone is naive and/or inexperienced.

I find it condescending and cliched in the same way those in this thread do:

It adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. A better response is for the GP to tell us why they think the OP is naive. It's a low effort unsubstantiated jab that pollutes the comments.

I don't agree it adds nothing - it conveys that the author underestimates the power of Murphy's law.

You getting so tilted[0] at a turn of phrase[1] is polluting the comments far more than GP is. Touch grass[2].

[0] "tilted" is a common idiom used to denote anger or frustration which originates from the gaming community, when frustrated pinball machine players would literally tilt the machine. I am not suggesting that you are literally sitting or standing at an incline.

[1] "Turn of phrase" denotes a particularly notable form of non-literal expression. It was likely coined by Benjamin Franklin. Ironically, "turn of phrase" is itself a turn of phrase, as it is meant to evoke the image of turning words on a lathe, despite it not being physically possible to turn words on a lathe due to words being abstract concepts.

[2] "touch grass" is a lighthearted or humorous way of advising someone to take a break from their online activities, perhaps by going outside and interacting with the real world, particularly if they are excessively immersed in virtual or digital environments. It is also a useful metaphor for partaking in the smoking of marijuana, which is often referred to as "grass."

I hung some washing out and it was grounding to literally touch grass (before it started raining). Thanks & apologies
