Hi!
Today I was shown a tweet https://x.com/deedydas/status/1818477947277525242
I'll quote the text here:
International Olympiad winners often go on to start world-changing things. OpenAI, Two Sigma, Telegram, Databricks, Perplexity, Devin, Ethereum, Udemy and even Python! You'll recognize some heavy hitters on the list. Nikolai Durov may be the most decorated of then all.
And there's also an interesting table there (I see Codeforcers there!):

Codeforces will soon turn 15 years old. Maybe this is an occasion to try to compile such a list? Suggest candidates in the comments! Please include at least three fields about the person: Handle, Name, and Career.
scott_wu from Cognition. (It's not a world-changing thing, but at least it's a thing)

There have been so many blogposts outlining solutions, and there are whole communities of people willing to do moderation work for free.

It is quite funny to see that the former CEO of Alameda Research is on that table. I guess committing massive fraud is an achievement as well. Though probably the table was made before.
