I wouldn't say you're screwed. I'd say you just need to get another equivalently high-powered person to sub in. It'd take them a while to load the code into their head, but so does any replacement programmer. And, if you do know how to get Eric, getting just one more is probably not that hard.

ecuzzillo, your point is valid but in the environment of a large company, hiring can take months, there is a huge administrative expense associated with the hiring process and the top 1% is still the top 1%...hard to find even if you had already found the first Eric.

In the environment of a normal large company, the giant administrative expense of hiring people (and in general the suckiness of being in a big company) is a far bigger problem than trying to find a good programmer.
