I think that contestant's remark about crushing the dream of newbie [to become pupil] is unfair to you. The incorrect solution would not have passed the system test phase unless there was an error in the problem checker, which is usually a very unlikely event in Codeforces contests. In other words, hacking is some kind of peer review during the contest. It gives the owner of the hacked submission the chance to fix the incorrect code before the end of the contest. There should not be any sadness about that at all.

Bro don't worry you won't reach specialist. You will reach expert directly from pupil one day.
