Many years ago I decided that "vacation factor" is a much better phrase than "bus factor". But I never put it anywhere I think. So now I put it somewhere unwiredcouch.com/2025/01/13/va…
@Daniel So I think that vacation factor and bus factor have slight differences. We talk about Separation of Responsibilities and the way that we will need multiple different people who can do a job. But Bus Factor is kinda "we'll never have access to this person again, no takebacks", vacations don't carry the same level of catastrophy IMO.
