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!
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
