Let me put you on to something real quick.
Most of these are completely free, and the ones that aren't come with insane discounts. You can sign up as a student, learn a few things on the side, and unlock all of this with no need to be sitting in a lecture hall.
We all hate paying for subscriptions. Nobody wants to, but somehow we all end up doing it. $10,000+ a year just to use the tools you need? That's genuinely ridiculous. Here's how to avoid most of that.
Zyke started on Heroku's free tier, ran the whole thing there from day one. Just migrated the main infrastructure over to DigitalOcean using the $200 credits from the GitHub Pack. Still keeping Heroku around for lighter, lower compute stuff. Two free tiers, zero wasted credits.

That's over $10,000 in value every year, and I've barely scratched the surface.
And honestly? You don't even have to be enrolled. Know a student? They can hook you up. Already a student? You could flip these at a discount and make money off the spread. Either way, there's no reason to be paying full price for any of this.
