I can only image how clean code looks & works that is full of feature flags. Glad that I don't need to do that to often :)

The right approach is to immediately remove the flags after rollout…

The actual approach is to maintain a million fucking feature flags, ensuring that almost all possible combinations are essentially untested… better hope you did a good job separating concerns!

They keep adding them until they need an internal library to manage their collection of feature flags.

Then after a while they graduate to feature flags as a service (of which there are a bunch of cloud services trying to have a go at)
