Not necessarily ... you get paid for delivering value, not for how you

That's incredibly bad advice IMHO. The *last* thing you want to do is 
write code you can't instantly understand yourself after being in a coma 
for six months. :)

Ryan Davis has an excellent Ruby obfuscator for sale, which proves 
there's a market for something that will allow *you* to read your code 
and prevent *others* from reading it easily.
