For me nothing, in principal, but in reality I would not have done it. I finished Startup Engineering staying on friends couch between gigs. I did not have the cash. And when I first tried coding from a self-paced course much earlier on, I wouldn't have started casually with a paywall. Also, I valued the fact people in economies where they would almost certainly not afford US / European prices could freely participate as long as internet was available. For me it is sort of like if you had to pay for git. It is one of my most used and valued tools, but part of its inherent value is its ubiquity, which I do believe has only come to pass because of the fact it is free software in all senses. There's a difference between something we all have, and something we could have if we are able/willing to pay and I think education overall needs a bit of both.
