Notes
gollark: I generally work with languages high-level enough that poking at RAM would be unhelpful, and projects simple enough that I can just `print` a lot.
gollark: You *can* learn programming just with free resources and open-source stuff, but this does seem useful for actually hosting your projects.
gollark: I mean, "worth" is probably wrong if they just give it to people for free, but the cloud hosting credits do seem nice.
gollark: Ah, a true programmer.
gollark: What does that have in it?
