As a programmer who has been hit by a bus (after riding on that same bus for five hours to it's endstop in western Greece) I'd like to point out that getting hit and killed by a car is a much higher risk. Add the rise of SUV sales which are more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists, and you might be as surprised as I am that banks don't go down due to dead programmers but due to bad accounting and fraud...

- veddox 3y agoThe „bus factor“ is a pars-pro-toto idiom. The „bus“ refers to any event that suddenly removes an important team member. This could be literally being hit by a bus (or SUV…), but could also be an illness, a move to another city, or simply a new position.
