Spaghetti Code Job Security

Oh honey, the ANCIENT SECRET to eternal employment! 💅 Write beautiful, elegant code that any developer could maintain? BORING and CAREER SUICIDE! But craft an unholy labyrinth of nested if-statements with variable names like 'temp2' and 'x_final_FINAL_v3'? Now you're IRREPLACEABLE! Why be a good citizen when you can be a CODING HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR? "Sure, I'll fix that bug... for the small price of YOUR ENTIRE BUDGET." The dark art of job security through incomprehensibility - because retirement plans are for people who don't know how to write functions that make grown developers cry!
