I've only interned at large enterprises so far, but I'd eventually like to start or work in a startup, which is why costs come into play for me.
Right now, if I want to make a site in Django, I can just get a $5 VM and spin up the rest for free, regardless of my goal. The same can't be said for an ASP.NET website, unless I'm underestimating Azure's free tier or something.
I live in Montreal.
