Obviously you travel in that world of "got paid to write a program once" instead of the "three plus year multi-million dollar bet the company systems development projects." I can tell you what world I travel in. Remember the articles which came out in ComputerWorld and the other trade rags after 9/11? The ones about how the trading companies who used distributed OpenVMS clusters lost two of their sites and most of their people when the Twin Towers fell, but the trading system continued executing trades until the end of business WITHOUT LOSING A SINGLE TRANSACTION. All other companies using all other operating systems lost massive amounts of transactions along with their locations. Most of those companies did not re-open their doors.
That's my world. Designing and developing systems which continue running without error long after the humans are gone.
