It's always entertaining when you do the simplest thing that works, it works, and then you get to watch someone struggling for months to replace it because it was too simple and not buzzwordy enough.
I am not gonna be ashamed to admit that working like your parent commenter said is a good way to ensure you won't get fired out of the blue as well (since what you created is not easily upgradeable or replaceable).
But in any case that's a side effect of being competent and is not a specially crafted tactic -- at least during my career.
And finally, we have to fight hard against the philosophy that all programmers should be easily replaceable cogs in the big machine. That's an impossible dream of the businessmen but they still won't give up on it.
