   what I was tought is to never ever follow people on a trail too 
closely (i.e. I am responsible for my safety, not somebody else). [of 
course, it's nice/good/appropriate to be considerate of people who are 
behind us]

   not entirely sure how to translate it to software development:-) 
maybe don't use beta (pre-release, early release) when you're not ready 
for beta?
