Maintain and support existing successful products is the laziest job ever.

I know a developer who single-handedly supporting a product - like a couple of days in a month for a full-time salary. He is paid because he is available, not because he works. He led a team that built this product, then dismissed it and supporting the product from then.

Usually, it is possible in non-tech companies, where you don't really care about the domain, just ensure that everything works fine.
