I know nothing about the company but I do know about UK company law. A UK company is very easy to open, there's no oversight, you declare the truthfulness of your statements and that's it: it takes about 10 minutes, you could have

Feature flags aren't a gateway to half-done code and TODOs unless they're misused: all code should be production ready, whether it's behind a feature flag or not. A feature flag severs the relationship between the availabilit
