Success can not be measured in such a short time. Let a decade pass
and look back. Take into account money/fun/identity/knowledge and
Other things that you received and there wont be doubts. Money is a
very important thing but so is living your life in your own terms. (I
am feeling philosophical today :) )

Indeed I did and, my apologies to Rangeen on that score.

I might not be comprehending this properly. Why would participating in
online coding contests be a deterrent to contributing to Free and Open
Source Software ? Although, considering the part within parenthesis,
if that is how it is projected, will obviously skew the participation
in a way that nothing can counter.
