Thanks for your post! Feature flags can be really useful if used properly. Though it's not all happiness and I think, that the article would be more complete if disadvantages would have been mentioned too. Like sometimes ugly code or the danger of activating incomplete, untested features in production.

For those who want to go deeper in the world feature flags/toggles, here is a very deep article by Martin Fowler.

Agreed, generally if you have a rule to clean up when opening the feature to everyone it can be managed well. Thanks!
