i actually quit because i got another offer at a different place for twice what i was making. when i told them about the offer and gave them a chance to counter they sperged the fuck out and told me i betrayed them and a bunch of other childish shit (despite being headhunted) and acted like total petulant teenagers. when i asked if they would match, or even offer meeting in the middle they told me it wouldn't be happening so i left.
the thing is, they weren't technically inclined at all. the owner was pretty much clueless about how anything i did worked and constantly put way too much on my plate. on top of being the only dev, i was also internal IT for the network/backup system, and phone system. multiple times i told them that i needed another developer so that i wasn't so overworked and they refused. they also did other stupid shit like refused to pay me overtime etc etc. they had no idea that the language that i was working in was "weird" or unconventional because they had 0 clue what was going on. the owner was a super prideful cunt, so the idea of him begging me to come back and do anything for them was apparently so distasteful that they just decided to get the new guy to start from scratch.
a friend who i made while i worked there told me that there were some pretty lengthy discussions about asking me to come back and add features but the owner went into a rage anytime i got brought up.
