Feature Flag
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
A development technique that allows certain features to be dynamically turned on or off via switches (flags) without redeploying code. This decouples 'code deployment' from 'feature release'.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Control pace and risk. When starting a new plan or life attempt, establish a 'feature flag'. If things go wrong, you can instantly 'turn it off' without starting over, granting great flexibility in action.
Anchor fast decisions
Use switches to control whether a product feature is enabled for users, decoupling feature development from release. The mechanism is runtime configuration toggling.
