I think parent is confusing A/B testing with feature flags, which can be used for A/B tests but also for roll-outs.

I think parent is confusing A/B testing with feature flags, which can be used for A/B tests but also for roll-outs.
- awkward 2y agoI’m aware of the distinction. A/B testing is the killer app for feature flags from the perspective of business decision makers.
- nine_k 2y agoNot the parent but some actual practitioners. A change is based on the gut feeling, and it's usually correct, but the internal politics require to demonstrate impartiality, so an "A/B test" is run, to show that the change is "objectively better", whether statistics show that or not.
- hinkley 2y agoFeature flags tend to be all or nothing and/or A/B testing instrumentation can be used to roll out feature flags. It’s complicated.
