I currently pay them $200/month out of my own pocket for this already, so for me it is not a free trial but subsizing my usage.

Agreed that $200 USD would be preferable (credits dont pay rent). My comment is directed at the strong words others have left about this being in bad faith on the whole. Even if it is, then their bad faith efforts are better than most.

Opinions here will vary, I wanted to share mine <3

Over the past week I started a new project in C with GTK on Linux just for fun. I wanted to see how far it could take me. I didn't expect this at all.

One week later and I've built the task manager of my wet fever dreams in pure C. The architecture is something I never, ever would have had the time to do. It would have taken years.

I also straight up learned more about event buses, plugin architecture, and memory in the past week than I had the past 5 years.

Now I've got a DevOps tool that can capture stdout and stderr on a cron sub processes even when the cron is doing nothing with it. I can stream it somewhere at will.
