I’ve noticed this trend on LinkedIn just recently. Very noticeable at night, obviously, when my screen is naturally more dim. But these logos are like blinding headlights.

FWIW, I think that’s essentially how Aurora DSQL works, and sort of explained at the end of the article.

> One best practice that I'd love to see spread (in our codebases too) is always naming the full feature flag directly in code, as a string (not a constant).

Can you elaborate on this? As a programmer, I would think that using something like a constant would help us find references and ensure all usage of the flag is removed when the constant is removed.

As an aside, those “feature flags as a service” tools have some neat features, but are just way too expensive for what most apps probably need: simple binary flags that can change at runtime.

Example: just use a database table. Query and cache in memory for 60s. If you want, build a simple internal web page or tool to toggle flags. This works, and scales (from experience).

Do many apps really need A/B testing or segmented rollout? Maybe, but probably not.
