I know someone that nobody can/will work with.

It's not because of their demeanor though they can be a bit abrasive, it's more awkward than egotistical.

The reason nobody can work with them is that they developed the entire infrastructure for their websites from the ground up over the course of decades, in PHP and JS.

No JQuery, no React, none of that, but all those features - yes- hand rolled.

Funny thing that nobody can learn it.

"But I documented it thoroughly"

"You don't understand: You can't google it. Documentation can't answer arbitrary questions, and you don't have the time to give a course"

They and their employer are both too invested. And they're all making good money, but they can't grow their business as a result.
