How I think about feature flags, rollouts, and safe defaults when velocity matters.
Feature flags are not a free lunch. Use them to reduce blast radius, not to hide unfinished work from users indefinitely.
What I optimize for
- Observable rollouts
- Clear ownership when something misbehaves
- Fast rollback without redeploy panic
When the system is honest about its state, teams move faster with less fear.
