Although my situation wasn't as serious, although I was the sole developer, I ran the companies "tech department"(consisting of me) for the last about 2-3 months on 3-4 hours of maintenance a week. I had a decision to make and was asked by my boss whether I would be available for the summer, similarly he had a lot of projects lined up, but I became sick of the pressure and boredom of a job which lined up meaningless tasks with a code base that was neither innovative or exciting to work with. Instead, I told him to hire someone as a replacement and I spent my last 3-4 months, doing an hour or two a week bringing the summer intern up to speed on the project and the codebase. This was greatly appreciated and had an extremely appreciative lunch from my previous boss who has given me a very positive referral. Its a tough decision and I have really put myself into the unknown relying on a summer internship in college which I may still not get, but I am pursuing new challenges and its a lot of fun.
