  Honestly, that is just bad management. It can make sense if it's your company, but even then, the risk profile is just off the charts. What happens if your only developer leaves or gets sick? Real engineers think about handling things when stuff goes wrong, not "everything will be on the happy path forever". Yes, there are constraints, but to me this sounds like an unacceptable level of exposure.

  You should really consider another place to work at, unless you own a massive, measurable chunk of the company in a legally binding way. The only people who should suffer this much are the true busines owners.

    I don't, but I enjoy a lot of perks that I would not get anywhere else. Thats why I stay. Basically work when I want, where I want. 100% remote if I choose to do so. Very flexible days off (maybe that's also why I am contacted a lot during those days). Almost no meetings, and relatively good pay.

  That's exploitation, no? You're just scammed into it, because you let it slide.
