You need to decide what works for you and then make that happen. Hear me out.
Small Startup with 2 devs is never going to be able to create too much structure around things. Forget agile. Client needs a fix. Forget process. We need to ship something now. So that is the nature of the beast.
BUT, you still need to set some boundaries. You can talk to your boss and say "I totally understand that my time is valuable and we don't have a lot of room at this time due to a small team, but I cannot be available after <insert your time> PM."
As an alternative, you could work out a flexible schedule if possible as well. They need you to code 10 hours a day ? Ok, then you will code for 5 hours in the morning, then not be available for a while and then be back in evening from home may be to code a bit more.
Overall, if you like the company and people, try to work it out with them because most small shops have this issue. I run one so I know exactly what you mean.
