Inspiration does exist, but it must find you writing code.

Feature flags help teams release features safely and quickly, but if left unmanaged, they can become stale and accumulate technical debt. To keep your codebase clean, you can use the Zombie Flags page, the Zombie Flags Report, and the Zombie Flags API. Let’s take a closer look at each of them.

Inspiration does exist, but it must find you writing code.

The primary goal of many software companies today is to keep end users engaged with their software by releasing new features and updates. This is made possible via a mechanism known as feature flagging. As software applications grow and scale to the ever-increasing demand for new features, another problem arises. It is easy to lose track of where we use feature flags throughout our code. This results in forgetting to remove them when their features have been fully implemented and deployed. How do we fix this?
