Ahhh feature flags, the sick organization’s last crutch.
Three years down the line, every customer is using a slightly different combination within the hundred flags that have appeared, you’ve just fallen back the latest release for the fifth time because of an unforeseen interaction between three unrelated flag states, and then you go through the test suites and you realize that it is mathematically impossible for you to cover every combination :)
- brightball 4y agoThat's not feature flags. You're referring to user options that individuals or companies can enable or disable. Feature flags are controlled entirely by the product team and designed to be removed after the product team has formally released the feature everywhere. Good feature flag systems like Unleash even track stale flags so you don't forget to remove them.
