> it just reminds me on how feature flags can be misused as application configuration/customization. An antipattern i could observe at various organzations already.
feature flags are perfect for configuration and customization, why using them for this purpose is 'misuse' is beyond me and I've heard this claim from multiple people. they're literally configuration. feature with a flag to turn it on, off or give the flag a value. where's the misuse? is it a problem I'm not running experiments when switching over redis to valkey or whatever?
