Except that you almost always have a debugger available, which means you can easily correlate code with what's happening on the page. Drop a breakpoint at the start of each function, reload, and you can literally follow the flow of execution from the very beginning.

Yes, it's not easy, but it's definitely doable with patience, and anybody who's likely to rip off your code will generally have a lot of that.
