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.

What happened to the underhanded c contest? Seems the last one was in 2016?

How 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.

Maybe because absolutely no one trusts any C code anymore.

Wow, I was definitely not aware of this.
