Have you won any programming competitions?

I have!

Back in the late 80's I got 3 small proggs published in a C64 magazine at 3 different times. That brought me $60 in hard currency. 😛
So what did these things do to get me this reward.

1. Software OC'ing of C128 in 40 column mode. 50% speed bump. = $20

2. You remember the dreaded DATA lines used in Basic to load ML code from Basic? There were always errors in them. My prog told you which line contained the error. They were amazed. = $20

3. Implemented a new command for C128 Basic (UNEW). Id undid the what the NEW command did. Basically reloaded deleted Basic code. = $20

Those were the times. 😀
How about you?

I got rid of the C128 a couple of years ago. I might have the magazines in storage somewhere. Unfortunately not in this country.

Funny you should mention it, I was at a local Bar the other night and that exact same subject came up

Me=Wouldn't know programming from a hole in the ground.

I'd be really impressed if you could hack a remote and run your own stuff on it.
LOL
