I'm not sure if you're just being pedantic, but "the bus factor is high" in this instance means there is a high level of risk to the health of the OSS projects

I'm not sure if you're just being pedantic, but "the bus factor is high" in this instance means there is a high level of risk to the health of the OSS projects he maintains if he were to get hit by a bus.
- lgas 10y agoI don't think he's being pedantic, it's the opposite of the general usage. The bus factor is the number of people that have to be hit by a bus to cause real problems for your project. Higher is better.
