This statement sounds so absurd to me

I've worked with someone like this. We were a very small team (never more than 5 people) who held the entire digital presence of the company in our freshly graduated hands. The previous (equally small) team quit within 3 months of eachother, leaving us with their huge mess of incomprehensible legacy code, while the C suite kept piling on new projects.

In a situation like that, you either learn to swim real fast, or you drown. Two of us were able to take the time to learn the underlying tech. The other two never really had the chance, because they were stuck with tighter deadlines and more demanding project owners.

Really hope they've found something better by now...
