You stop worrying that nobody will come and start drowning because everyone did. The rules that got the first road shipped will sink the second: saying yes to every request produces paved-road sprawl, forking the template per team produces ten half-roads instead of three excellent ones, and every path you ship is a product you maintain forever. The second path should reuse most of the first one&rsquo;s guts, the long tail of requests gets the escape hatch rather than a road, and you keep a boring list of what exists. Success at path one buys you demand. What you do with that demand decides whether you end up with a platform or a junkyard of templates.</p>
