I totally get what you mean. I myself is in the same situation. But recently I've decided to leave because I felt that I'm no longer learning new things and kept repeating the cycle.
There should be a limit to how long you can stay and help your friend out. You have to think for yourself, how much time do you want to sacrifice for your friend vs the amount of things you may be able to learn if you r not working there.
I have a confession to make.
I do most of my java coding in comic sans ;-;
IT MAKES ME HAPPY FOR SOME REASON
I'm fed up with my work. I am the only dev so I have to manage everything, from negotiating integration protocols to design and implementation. The field is rather exotic and I don't have much room to grow and develop my skillset. I earn literally 1/4 of what my peers make in other companies doing more interesting things...
But then again my boss (the company is real small) helped me a lot during some difficult times and I don't want to pull the rug from under him. So I'm trying to get things organized and done as much as possible so as to leave everything good for my successor, but that's hard since im the only dev and i have to do everything...
Kinda vicious cycle...
