Ask HN: What Matters Most in Tech? Awards, Media Praise, or Peer Respect What’s the biggest honor someone in tech can receive that isn’t money, a job title, or company success? Is it being inducted into a Hall of Fame like the Internet Hall of Fame? Winning a major industry award from groups like ACM? Being profiled by top outlets such as Wired or TechCrunch? Or is it something less formal — like earning deep respect from peers and being cited as an inspiration by other builders? What do you think is the highest non-financial honor in tech? |
