I worry about any technology that has a bus factor of one.[1]
And I'm sure there are several orders of magnitude more of them than _that_ xkcd cartoon imply...
[1] Except when that "one" is me. You're all welcome to solve any problems in code I leave behind, I no longer will care. Whether that's a "bus factor" or a "won the lottery factor".)
- fargle 4y agoagree with [1], been there. But projects that have a bus-factor ~1 are often some of the tightest, best ones. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, don't worry so much. Hopefully the owner leaves some keys and contingency plans, but otherwise, carry on as normal. The GPL and other open source licenses are good enough backup insurance if they didn't.
