If you have enough traffic then you’ll want to roll out new features gradually, and revert them quickly if despite your testing it causes trouble in production.

If you don’t have much traffic, and can live with having to redeploy to flip the switch, then fine, stick it in a config file.

But I clicked through expecting a defence of hard coding feature flags in the source code (`if true` or `if customerEmail.endsWith(“@importantcustomer.com”)`). I very don’t approve of this.

That specific example feels like it might be ok? Presumably you have a very slow process by which customers are identified as VIP white-glove whales. Hard-coding the account representing X% of revenues is not going to experience a lot of churn. Just make it a collection variable, so you do not repeat yourself in multiple places.
