The AWS Builder platform is great for students to collaborate and network, but it is currently being misused. Students are chasing the $100 reward instead of forming connections that will benefit them in the long run.

I have been studying the AWS Builder platform, and here is what I think students are getting wrong:
The purpose of the AWS Builder platform is to network with fellow AWS professionals and students, and to help learners stay motivated throughout their learning journey. However, I think the platform is currently doing the exact opposite, and here is why:
- Students are chasing rewards and certs instead of building meaningful connections and networking. The comments are watered down to "nice," "good," and "very good," and some people even write gibberish in the comments.
- There's no opportunity for beginners to share their progress because they have been made to believe that every article has to be highly technical and use a lot of AWS tools for it to be considered valuable.
The solution:
- Comment your LinkedIn handle under this post and make new connections. My LinkedIn is the first one, so send me a connection request. Let's connect, collaborate, and learn from each other.
Looking forward to connecting with you all!
