I would like to address the question : How to measure success? Professor Tom Gilb is an authority on this, as he specializes in "Competitive Engineering" which takes questions like how to quantify quality? How to measure a value, or even an emotion (love for example)!
He has been a member of the ACM since the dawn of computing industry, and he has authorized an engineering and planning language called PLANGUAGE.

But I have a question. How will you measure success? In the end, that is what I am looking for. How does anyone measure success in this and similar/related contexts?
