I've seen way too many programmers - myself included - think that
synchronized edits are viable. If you are the one and only perfect
programmer, then sure! But if you're like the rest of us, it's better
to build your code in such a way that it doesn't bite you.

Yes, it was a snarky way to make the point, but I have a strong point to make.
