Is anyone doing feature flag development with agents?
Not tried it, but in theory feature flagging is an alternative model to PR’s to getting work on main.
- Put it on main, disabled by a flag
- Deploy with the rest of the system
- Unflag to selected users early
- Fix bugs for those users
- Unflag to more users
- Repeat until shipped
Feels like a perfect strategy to pair with agents
