I'm sure many of you have heard some variation of this, or used it, or maybe your boss told you to be ready in case you (or someone more important) gets hit by that vehicle. This is the &quot;bus factor,&quot; and it's often used in reference to preparation for unforeseen events. Not literally someone getting hit by a bus, but perhaps a sudden accident that takes someone away from work (hopefully not fatal). Perhaps it's someone leaving for a new job. Maybe it's retirement, which is something my boss and I at Redgate chat about periodically. Don't worry, I'm not planning on retiring anytime soon. I expect to work until at least 2033 and possibly longer. Likely longer, I'm a weird work-a-holic in some ways, and I love my job.
