Good post Stephen.. Wish to feature your interview on a simple course discovery blog someday. - chandracourses.com/about/

Does other companies recognize contributors and community builders the way Microsoft does calling them as MVP?

Thanks for your support. Different companies run different programs. AWS has a similar program to Microsoft's MVP's, which is their AWS Heroes program; an invite-only group for people who render outstanding service to the AWS Community, and champion particular technologies.

The Community Builder program is similar, but open to people to apply directly, and the entry requirements aren't quite as stringent. The official page from the AWS explains this in much better than I can:

Great article Stephen. Quick question; i did apply but received no confirmation on the application: wondering if this is expected behavior or maybe I should resubmit? Any insight would be helpful.
