Are you hiding them from CIA or Al-Qaeda?
Feature toggles, or just plain Boolean flag are not rocket science.
- danenania 1y agoNot rocket science, but I think there are also some tradeoffs with feature flags? People could build on top of half-baked stuff because it’s in main. Or you might interact with main in ways that aren’t ready for production and aren’t trivial to toggle… or you just forget a flag check somewhere important. I could also see schema/type decisions getting locked in too early while the feature is still in flux, and then people don’t want to change after it’s already reviewed since it seems like thrashing. But yeah, definitely it’s one option. How do you consider those tradeoffs?
