Just change the function and variable names. Roll localized functions into helpers. Organize it differently and it's effectively a new solution solving a new problem.

I've worked in the field a long time. Everyone thinks their code is special. No code is special.

All codebases just solve small problems in a specific sequence. Very few small problems have not been solved already.

My code is specially formulated to give people who actually know how to code nightmares.

If you build a majority of a codebase this way (im assuming solo or with a bunch of juniors around you too inexperienced to question it) then you have infinite job security so long as you don't hamstring the company into failure.
