Author here. The point is not to delete the flag promptly, the point is to delete it cleanly , when you are confident the new feature is good.

I remember the Droid X had a FM tuner in it. I thought that was pretty cool when I bought it, but then I never used it. When I bought it, I had forgotten that there is never anything good on FM... (though FM tuner was not the reason that I

Google took over because PageRank was a revolutionary change over the evolutionary changes that came before (think Lycos -> Altavista). All anyone needs to do is to come up with the next revolutionary thing. Just do that, and you will ov

You can definitely use feature flags to slowly (and controllably) roll out an alteration to an existing database, but exactly what it would look like depends on the alteration. If you are going to make a schema migration with no downtime (e

Because we continued writing 100% of the data to Mongo until we were certain that everything was working, it was always safe to stop using Dynamo (or use it for less traffic). In the canary read phase, we always returned the mongo data to

Author here. Yeah, at that point, you are doing two writes, and (possibly) two reads. I simplified the code a bit for the blog post, but you can do the read and write pairs concurrently, so you don't have to wait longer to get data to

For local development, you can create an 'environment' for each dev, which will maintain a separate set of targeting/rollout rules for each feature. This will make development/testing fast when you are connected to th

It is really quick to get started. You just drop our SDK into your project, and add a few lines to your code around where you want to toggle. Our docs [1] give examples in each language that we support. [1]: http://docs.launchdar

It seems the 'random' number is actually the important bit. You can remove the `/flexible-feature-control-at-instagram/` part, which is only there for SEO (presumably). StackOverflow URLs work the same way, in fact...

That is great in areas where Uber/Lyft operate, but in rural areas, there is no public transportation, no taxis, etc. In these areas, a designated driver is really the only responsible option.

Yeah, that definitely works as well, and it is also what I did before I found ngrok. It is a few more hoops to jump through in order to get things flowing, though, and you don't get the introspection/replay functionality. You ca

That is true, but that is only a small part of the usefulness of ngrok. It can tunnel TCP port, assigning you a random high-numbered port at their end (like with ssh -R). But if you are tunneling an HTTP service, you can be assigned a rando

I love my slow cooker too, but I just want to dispel the myth that a slow cooker saves much time-- it just shifts the prep time from early evening to morning. Often mornings are just as hectic :). At least, that has been my experience, tho

I'd be careful implying causation here. Another way to look at it is that people who often find themselves in dangerous situations feel the need to have guns to protect themselves. When you think about it that way, it doesn't soun
