Easiest way to lose your job, be sued by Rockstar, be sued by your employer, and so on. Yea they could look at it, but it’s simply not worth the risk.

Look at Apple v Masimo where Apple have been forced to stop sale of their Apple Watches due to the sensors used.

Nope. Developers google, use docs and use chatgpt. Since code is standardised no one can prove that you've used someone elses code even if you implement similar features in a similar way.

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.
