«Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.» —Steve Jobs

(AIRE-Italy press) The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is the world championship of computer science and programming. As per tradition, the prestigious title of programming world champion will be awarded to the university team that manages to solve the greatest number of problems in the shortest time possible.
We asked Giuseppe Macario, a former Roman programmer, now an engineer in Panama and the Caribbean, who set the world record in two ICPC problems, what the chances of victory are for the Italian teams.
Giuseppe Macario: «I wouldn't want to disappoint your expectations, but Italy will almost certainly not even be represented. In fact, she has never been invited to the finals of these international competitions. Unlike foreign universities, Italian universities do not provide students with adequate preparation to pass the preliminary phases.»
What are the reasons for such a discouraging situation?
Giuseppe Macario: «Personally I am not surprised, because I believe that the reasons must be found in the general framework of Italian education. Students find themselves stuck between the Ministry of Education or University, which is completely absent, and the teaching staff. The latter, with a few exceptions, tends to communicate little with students, and skills are not valued. It is no coincidence that, every year, Italian universities are "failed" in all international rankings.»
And how did you manage to set two world records?
Giuseppe Macario: «Fortunately, the problems presented at the ICPC can also be solved individually by registering on websites dedicated to competitive programming. In this case, being part of a university team is not required. The correctness and efficiency of the submitted solutions are evaluated by the same software used in the ICPC. It's a major global competition, open 24/7, 365 days a year, involving programmers and computer scientists from all over the world. Besides, my solid education at MIT has made me very confident in my abilities.»
Which team will win the next world finals?
Giuseppe Macario: «Russia seems to be the favorite this year too, with ITMO University. However, China should also be kept an eye on, with a couple of very strong teams. And finally let's not forget the United States, always very aggressive. These are countries that prepare their students in an extremely professional manner."

Giuseppe is the most popular male name in Italy, meaning "God will add" from the Hebrew Yosef (יוֹסֵף‎). It is Joseph in English. Macario is the Italian form of the old Greek given name Makários (Μακάριος), meaning "happy, blessed".
