Yes, for winning IOCCC competitions! Which would normally be a great CV badge to demonstrate your skills to prospective employers, but likely of little consequence if you're Fabrice.

It's probably of little consequence for his employment, but Bellard has won a few IOCCC prices: https://www.ioccc.org/winners.html#B

Not many employers would know of the IOCCC.

If you have the sort of brain that makes winning IOCCC entries, it is highly probable that a candidate employer who has not heard of it is not, in fact, prospective.

Sure. But who wants to work flipping burgers, greeting shoppers, or doing web front-ends for the rest of their life?

Anyone interviewing an IOCCC winner probably has.
