This may work to keep your current job, but should you need to find another job for any reason, how will you sell yourself to the next company, other than trying to bullshit your way in?

One of the obvious ways to obfuscate your current code base is to rewrite it with obscure parts of computer science. So with a little ahead of time planning you should be able to practice leetcode and the like on your production codebase.

The things that make the difference between an ok and great engineer are things that never get published along with the product.
