Sure. https://github.com/prefab-cloud/prefab-cloud-java/blob/main/... is consistent function that turns a string into a float in the range 0-1. So if you hash "flagA-user1234" you'll get a

The comparison focussed on ruby, but 6/7 of the tools support many languages. Was thinking of doing others per lange including good open source options per language.

I just put together a comparison yesterday of some tools and I found unleash to be more unwieldy than I expected. I wanted to set the result to a specific value for a shared segment and couldn't do it. For some reason the overrides did

yeah, "an enabled feature shall never be retracted for a user which had the feature enabled before" is extra spicy and requires a different architecture entirely, since you fundamentally need to store the evaluation for each user

I believe he means doing a rollout to 30% of users and having that be consistent, so that the same 30% of users are always in the flag, not just 30% of evaluations. This is typically achieved by hashing the flag+userId, converting to an int

I've had an interview question we called KennyLoggings. Pair program on a feature that lets you change the log levels of your rails app based on the path and class hierarchically. So you could set INFO for app/models but DEBUG for

Thanks! Yeah, I've got this feedback before and I need to figure out how to get it across ASAP. Convincing someone to change their log aggregator is a much bigger lift that what we require in order to get you value. imho 1: mmm. yeah.

Larger Scratch projects have bogged down for me because there's so much panning left and right. I don't know that it'll work, but I have a small hope that some form of AR will actually make a difference with these types of vi

Personally, I like having Trace & Debug, though I could do with just one in a pinch. In particular Trace feels useful for some types of library code. Info seems the right level for startup notices and anything that happens regularly. I

Totally. It doesn't sound like a teeny thing, but it made working at HubSpot feel like I had access to alien technology. Once you've gotten used to it, very hard to remember how you lived with it. Curious: did you find it more imp

Amazingly I don't disagree. In my usage the desired return result is two-part. The first is indeed boolean, but there is also a "why". Was it an auth rule? A complex FF? I think the ideal interface would give sufficient conte

Consistency with what I’ve seen, but it can really end in tears. FF give you unbelievably useful and snappy ways to get what you want… at the cost of losing all track of what the state of the world is. Simple entitlement systems are clear

There’s a real insight here. At a core level, we simply want to know “can X do Y”. The answer to this could actually come from a feature flag, an experiment, our authorizations / permissions or the product configuration / SKUs we

For times when you need distributed generation, I’ve worked with a system that I liked. Server kept track of a sequence. Clients pull out batches of 1000 or so and then use them up. When the client starts to get low on available numbers it

You can have two tracks of 1-1s. You do the layoffs and pick a lieutenant to do 1-1s with the stayers. They should be able to get through those much quicker so you can leave your go forward team with as little purgatory time as possible. I
