They could bring on other people if they updated their tech stack to use modern, off the shelf tools.

I don't think the person I'm talking about is willing to work that way though. NIH in the extreme.

When I worked with them, I did discuss this with them, but didn't get very far.

To my credit, they said I was the one dev that they found they'd be willing to work with again. But I can't do it, for my sanity. And I wasn't able to deliver at the rate that I usually can because I was constantly tripping over what I didn't know about their system.

It's kind of unfortunate too. I actually went to high school with them, and they found out through the grapevine that I was in the field, so they contacted me through a mutual friend. I liked working with them, but I just couldn't be effective to the degree *I* was satisfied with using their tools.
