[Verse 1] Sarah built the logging lib that half the world depends upon Working nights and weekends, keeping servers running strong But she's burning out from pressure, thinking bout a different path One developer maintaining what supports our digital past [Chorus] Bus factor one means danger zone When knowledge lives in minds alone Single point of failure here Makes the whole supply chain fear Check your deps before they're gone Bus factor one, bus factor one [Verse 2] GitHub shows the commit graph, one name dominates the green Issue tracker piling high with bugs she's never seen No succession plan in place, no backup maintainer found When she steps away tomorrow, will your system hit the ground [Chorus] Bus factor one means danger zone When knowledge lives in minds alone Single point of failure here Makes the whole supply chain fear Check your deps before they're gone Bus factor one, bus factor one [Bridge] Look at contributor metrics, count the active hands Check the project governance, understand their plans Fork or fund or find alternatives before the crisis hits Human sustainability matters more than perfect fits [Verse 3] Map your critical dependencies, audit every single one Count the maintainers actively working, rate them by the sun Red flag packages with solo devs carrying the load Yellow warning signs for projects on a lonely road [Chorus] Bus factor one means danger zone When knowledge lives in minds alone Single point of failure here Makes the whole supply chain fear Check your deps before they're gone Bus factor one, bus factor one [Outro] Build resilience in your stack today Before your heroes walk away Bus factor planning saves the day
