I like this article. I used to work on HA systems and I saw systems that were really HA all the way down to the electrons. Right now, I would rather have someone like you who enjoys building HA architecture and I would rather be writing software.

The problem is that you are good(expensive) and most people can't afford to build out and maintain a true HA system so they go for the cheap alternative and in that case, you get what you pay for.

Not to mention the fact that in addition to you being good (and therefore expensive) to have a HA system, you would need at least two of you.
