How do you explain this to your new boss? Needing to explain the complexity of the task to your boss, might suggest the reasons none of the previous committers are still working at the company. Of course it might be coincidence that you are already feeling burnt out; the company has not retained developers before you; and does not have relationships with those developers where they are available as consultants. If you decide it probably isn’t coincidence, it might make sense to have workplace expectations consistent with such a company culture. Sometimes a lousy job is better than looking for a job. Sometimes it’s not. Good luck.
