Relax, parent poster was simply clarifying that the 'competitive' referred to programming "sports" contests, not competing for a programming job.

Sure, but I don't think a good faith interpretation of the title would require that sort of disclaimer, and look at the rest of the thread that resulted.
I hadn't heard of "competitive programming" before, and at first assumed this was a post exactly about "getting a better job or a better salary" (the most likely alternative interpretation).

So I was grateful for the clarification, and didn't take it as algorithm-hate.
