I knew enough about their financials that I'm convinced they really couldn't afford somebody, and I was the most expensive. No amount of "budgeting" was going to cover those unexpected circumstances, which they had already tried to work through in other ways. I want to be mad, but I can't.

IMHO you can and should. AI is a great assistant. Letting go the more experienced dev is a bad move. We work in a field where you should understand what it is you're doing. We had a wave of "dev" who where told that assembling libraries and API as Lego is the way. It's only a sub part. Now with the AI fuzz, people think it's kind of magic and do everything by its own. It's not. You can gain a lot of time with AI if you know how to prompt and are capable to understand what it spits out. But beting the future of your business on less experimented junior for saving a couple thousand dollars is not a clever move. (Again, my opinion)
