To be fair, if he was really by himself doing all of that and as overworked as he says, then of course he didn't have time for documentation. If I saw a lack of documentation that severe from the person architecting a critical-to-the buisness project, I would take the time out to sit with them and find out what's going on and how to help. I've definitely had times back when I was doing work on one or two man teams where documentation was essentially impossible. Now, it sounds like he was a cofounder of sorts. That makes you a business partner and so he should have found out they weren't going to hire help much sooner than launch. The project should never have gotten anywhere close to launch really. Now that's a year or two of his life's work flushed down the toilet in a sense. With the experience I have now, I would not allow myself to end up in a similar situation, but when I was younger I was much more naive and would buy into a lot of junk from early stage startups that were obvious red flags looking back.
