Calculating the Truck-Factor of Popular Open Source Projects
An anonymous reader writes: The Truck Factor describes the minimal number of developers that have to be hit by a truck (or quit) before a project is incapacitated. Wikipedia defines it as a "measurement of the concentration of information in individual team members. A high truck factor means that many individuals know enough to carry on and the project could still succeed even in very adverse events." The term is also known by bus factor/number. In this article, the authors calculate the truck factor for 133 popular GitHub applications. Spoiler, but unsurprising: Linux ranks near the top (meaning that it's highly resilient).
Not as f*cked as the dev that was hit by the truck, you insensitive clod!
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
OK, if it makes you feel better, we'll call it the "Girl Factor". That's the number of developers who have to discover girls before the project is incapacatated.
Maybe next time, just ask him to explain his code instead of killing him and throwing him in the river.
Sleep your way to a whiter smile...date a dentist!
Have you read the code?
It was all the team could do.
Man, I've heard of places with tough code review sessions, but I have to say this is too much!
Okay, okay, I'll make sure my comments in my code are actually readable...

Most of the developers that I know are more likely to get hit by the truck.
