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: I mostly learned to program by doing random projects, reading various random tutorials for things, having to debug weirdly broken stuff, reading some people's code, sort of thing.
