I was just browsing the site of Flutterby participant Linus Akesson, and saw that he won third place in the 2008 Underhanded C Contest. It's worth going and reading through the 3 winners of the 2008 Underhanded C Contest, especially if you write code with security implications [Edit: all code has security implications].

I just had proposed an access and feature control method to a critical , that adds 5 tables and requires left joins and multiple m:m relationships to keep everything in sync and see who gets to do what. The coder almost had me convinced of the benefits, and then I read this. I'm going to stick to my KISS (keep it simple and safe) guns, and look at what appears to be simple code, with re-opened eyes.
Congrats and Thanks Linus!
