I thought they had more programmers, he was just the only one on site.

I think they did at one point, but during the plot he's the only one and he's working unpaid overtime, because he warned them when he signed his original contract that the system they wanted needed more engineers and more time but they didn't listen and then threatened him into working for free when the system wasn't ready at the end of his original contract. This is the direct reason why he committed the corporate espionage that caused the whole park to go fubar.

I grew up thinking he was the villain. Now, I know he was actually a hero.

I mean... they were revolting against their capitalist slavers.

Yeah, I guess from a vegan perspective that doesn't factor in prey or wild animal suffering, they actually were the good guys. The scientists were slaving them, and the gruesome shit they did in return doesn't count because predation.

The good news, then, is the t-rex got away. Or at least maybe did. Relevant XKCD.
