You're welcome to think and believe whatever you want. Nothing I can
do to prevent that..

Whether they hire another developer, or get one of the current
developers to fix it, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that
you fix it. You don't tell the customer to "live with it", especialy
when said customer is experiencing downtime or problems as a result of
YOUR mistakes/incompetence. Keep doing things like that, and before
you know it, you won't HAVE any customers.
