Whenever these stories come up, I like to remind people about the Underhanded C Code Contest[1] and the IOCCC[2]

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.
