That's a great idea. I'll reveal the contents of this hash to prove that the person who posts in 10 years is indeed who I am:

Even if I decided to go to MIT today, I'd still probably say that some of the OSS work I've done is something I'm more proud of than having gotten into MIT. That said, I hope that in 10 years neither of those things is what I'm most proud of.
