I'm curious, how would they obfuscate code and how could you tell?

  Imagine every variable, class, file, and method name being gibberish with no comments. Also, no white space devs usually use to group related functionality in a method. You have to not only figure out what the heck is going on, but also why. It’s very difficult to figure out at first. A normal code base has some (not always descriptive) names. But it’s at least useful for context.

    Oh yeah, that's some pretty clear obfuscation. It sounds like a PITA to work with code like that.
