How can I prepare for getting hit by a bus?

Question: I'm a member of a small team - and by small, I mean there are three of us. I'm often the only engineer working on technical aspects of our projects.

This actually happens more times than I want to admit. Sometimes, I'm the sole-coder, sometimes I'm analysing or compiling technical information, sometimes I'm preparing technical data and presentations.

When you work on cross-functional teams, it's hard to keep the rest informed about the details of what you are doing.

But what if I get 'hit by a bus'? How should I work in a team where I'm the only technical contributor to avoid problems from a sudden departure?

You can read our answer on our blog, but what do you think?

Start by practicing with scooters and bikes to build your tolerance and work your way up through motorcycles, cars, etc....
