You live, you learn.

Let's say you've heard about the benefits of using feature flags for gradual feature rollouts, and you're ready to adopt them in your organization. The next step would be deciding whether to "build or buy."

If you choose to develop your feature flagging tool, you'll need to figure out how to make it fetch, evaluate, and manage feature flags. If you want to use a third-party tool, you might have to learn and unlearn different APIs as you search for the right one.

Challenges like these inspired the creation of OpenFeature, a CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) project that aims to standardize feature flagging.

You live, you learn.

As you might have heard by now, the tech world is undergoing massive layoffs due to the looming recession. Big tech companies like Twitter, Meta, Google, and Amazon have all announced massive job cuts in the past few months. Software developers are on the receiving end in 2023, accounting for 20% of layoffs, according to data from workforce intelligence firm Revelio Labs.

Apart from the stress and anxiety it causes employees who were let go, layoffs can disrupt the rhythm of development teams and impact how projects move forward. The developers that survive layoffs are expected to keep everything running smoothly despite their smaller numbers. They'll have to explore strategies that will allow them to continue working efficiently and produce high-quality software without overworking themselves.

It is a feature management system. Read on to learn what a Feature Management System is, and its use in software development.
