Programmers are inherently encouraged to be lazy, so they&#x27;ll follow the easiest path assuming you&#x27;re careful to actively encourage that... if you&#x27;re not really careful about exactly how &quot;obvious&quot; you make your intended path (Hint: It&#x27;s never obvious enough) then you wander by a few weeks later and there&#x27;s a giant Rube-Goldberg construct blooming in source control.<p>As per all generic advice, YMMV.
