I was just about to set up an EC2 micro with node and mongo this weekend.
I also get the opportunity to build a server, deploy in an environment that I can scale in "one day"
I think there are a lot of valuable skills to be gained by doing this for free and for fun right now, so that I can do it for a startup later on.
If I don't know how to build an EC2 system, I can't be confident in my ability to sell that skill later on.
