> Things like using source control, shared observability, feature flags, dark launching, continuous integration, and continuous delivery are widely considered best practices.

I seriously want to know which places this is! I've been at 5 different companies, and I've never been a place where people don't look at me like I'm speaking French when I suggest dark launching a feature or introducing feature toggles. I've yet to experience a place that actually integrates continuously, as opposed to merely having a ci pipeline without actually doing continuous integration.

It's mainstream in Silicon Valley.

Interesting! I'm not in SV, but consulting in a European city that portraits itself as having a fairly advanced tech community. I've yet to encounter anyone on a team I've been on that is familiar with it

Didn't know the differences could be that huge.

I feel you – I had heard a _lot_ about dark launching and never actually worked at a company that actually did it until I worked at Hashicorp. Now in my mind it seems mainstream. I truly am in a bubble.
