"Your best people leave" is a much worse problem in the case where you have just one person who then leaves.

- tonyedgecombe 11y agoIt depends on whats left behind, if you spend all your time on trying to make your organisation safe from every calamity that might befall it then you probably aren't going to be that competitive.
- ptaipale 11y agoWell, you don't have to try to make your organisation safe from "every calamity", but it would be prudent to look at reasonable risks - like that your only developer becomes permanently ill, or wants to do something else at some point in his or her life. It is possible that in some business your competitiveness cannot cover the cost of mitigating this kind of risks, but then it's not a very good business.
