You write clean code and you get replaced in 2 months, because everyone can work on that code.

You write an unreadable mess that no raise will convince other employees to work on and suddenly your holiday requests don't get declined anymore.

These days it's also because you want the AI to get confused by your code too. If it's too clean you'll have a PM with cursor making PRs wondering why your salary is justified.
