Vibhor Thakral from India has been nominated for a 2020 #Noonie in the Future Heroes and Technology categories.
The Noonies are Hacker Noon’s way of getting to know — from a community perspective — what matters in tech today. So, we asked our Noonie Nominees to tell us. Here’s what Vibhor had to share.
1. Which 2020 Noonie/s have you been nominated for?
2. Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am a passionate learner, a book lover and a coding enthusiast
3. Tell us about the things you make / write / manage / build.
I write about Computer Science and Web Development, I also build websites for my freelance clients
4. What are you most excited about right now?

8. If we gave you $10 million to invest in one thing right now, where would you put it?
Usually I would want to diversify the money over real estate, business, funds and commodities but if I had to select one thing, I would keep it simple and invest it in index fund, that itself is diversified so I won't lose the money in a single bad investment and historically it has given constant returns over long period of time.

That we as people are stuck in a rat race and are oppressed by our materialistic tendencies and I still include myself in that group though am progressing and changing with intention.

Currently I am moving my whole Life OS to an app called "Notion" so I would say that
11. What are you currently learning?
I am learning about Data Structures and Algorithms for interview preparation and fullstack web development
For much the same reasons Hacker Noon decided not to put good ideas behind pop-ups or paywalls — nor abuse your personal data to target you with creepy ads — we also decided that you don’t have to be a #thinkfluencer or have 50k followers on Twitter to earn the recognition that comes with a 2020 Noonie Nomination.
Make somebody’s day and nominate them to be recognized in the internet’s most independent and community-driven awards: NOONIES.TECH.
