> He's an AWS Hero

I don't pay much heed to AWS Heroes. My city has an "AWS Hero" who hoarded the organization of the official AWS meetup for themself, and who is infamous for making liberal use of Cunningham's Law [1] for everything.

I don't pay much heed to AWS Heroes.

Honestly, I don't either. There's a handful of us who are technical and a huge number whose contributions are primarily marketing.

AWS Hero, Microsoft MVP.. something about those sorts of recognition seem to attract certain types of people - types seeking the limelight - often not particularly good, ethical, moral, or pleasant types.

This sounds like a legit complaint. Does anyone call them out on this?
