The snprintf idea is a real-world example of something I worked on as part of a larger project. I took over maintenance of a poorly-written code base and cleaned up all sorts of problems. sprintf -> snprintf requires you to look through the code to figure out how big the buffer is, update the API to include new functions with buffer size parameters, determine whether buffers are large enough in the first place, etc. Something that can be dull, but can't be automated.
