Feature Flag Discipline for Fast-Moving Teams
How the highest-velocity teams treat feature flags as a release primitive, not a hack.

High-velocity teams ship to production constantly because they have decoupled deploy from release. Feature flags are how. The teams doing this well treat flags as a first-class part of the release process, with explicit ownership, expiration dates, and pruning cycles. The teams doing this poorly accumulate flags until the codebase looks like a Boolean expression with no parentheses.
