My Tribute to the Peers series has just reached the symbolic milestone of 0x80 spotlighted personalities — that’s 128 inspiring individuals whose contributions helped shape the history of computing as we know it. What started as a modest initiative to honor pioneers and give visibility to forgotten or under-celebrated figures has grown into something much larger, thanks to your encouragement. Your reactions, thoughtful comments, and private messages have not only been a source of motivation but often opened new paths of discovery. I'm deeply grateful for that.🙏 Many of you asked for a way to revisit these portraits in one place — so today, I’m happy to share a first compilation gathering these 128 mini-tributes. It’s a humble attempt to preserve memory, spark curiosity, and, I hope, inspire others as much as it continues to inspire me.
