Whenever these stories come up, I like to remind people about the Underhanded C Code Contest[1] and the IOCCC[2]
TL;DR: Clever C programmers can hide very evil shit in plain sight.

- dkga 2y agoWow, I was definitely not aware of this.
- cortesoft 2y agoWhat happened to the underhanded c contest? Seems the last one was in 2016?
- thelastparadise 2y agoMaybe because absolutely no one trusts any C code anymore.
- ruk_booze 2y agoHow sad to see that this is no more. I helped out reviewing the winning contribution[1] by Linus Åkesson, for what I now know was the final contest. Linus, aka ”LFT”, is a remarkable and truly talented person in so many ways. If you haven’t heard of him before, I suggest you check out all of his projects.
