because CS students are more likely to pursue software engineering as a career
free for education really is a marketing tool to get the students to use and depend on the product so that when they land a job they can convince their Product Manager to pay for it
this is business, not a charity

- ushakov 4y agoi was guilty of refusing to offer the service for free to a student at the time it didn’t make sense to me why i should offer something for free when it costs me money to operate the student in question switched to a competitor, got a job at FAANG and now their bosses pay big bucks for his usage lessons learned: offer free (subsidized) accounts to students so when they make it you could bill them or their employers
