I think having flags like isGreekAndSafari could also possibly be a sign of too many engineers. I never really understand why large scope and/or scale business rules require more engineers. Why do companies program all this stuff directly into the app with crazy flags like that instead of building configuration systems so that lower cost employees can fill in and expand the business rules?
