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.
