In the case of my team, although we recognize we should clean it up, we’re usually prioritizing pushing out more features. That tendency leads to a lot of old feature flags. In a startup, being able to get features out is more important than cleaning up old flags. If we don’t achieve product fit before we run out of runway, then the whole thing can get shut down. If we don’t achieve customer validation, same thing. Usually, at some point, someone will suggest a rewrite. That pretty much never goes well.
