Pick a product/market that doesn't require such a level of support / contact.

Pick something also that doesn't need constant human hands/duck tape. E.g. if you are web scraping, and someone changes their site HTML structure on 3pm on a Wednesday, then you have to be hands on to fix it.

If you are running an app that is self sufficient - you put the hours in at the weekend to make it robust, it doesn't bother you during the week, most of the time.

In other words, build stuff that ... scales :-)
