I respect the author in making this bold move of removing this. I would be interested in knowing what the updated views are.


Uber's article [1] linked on the page mentions it at the start:

> These nonfunctional feature flags represent technical debt, making it difficult for developers to work on the codebase, and can bloat our apps, requiring unnecessary operations that impact performance for the end user and potentially impact overall app reliability.

> Removing this debt can be time-intensive for our engineers, preventing them from working on newer features.

Nice idea. It would be interesting to explore if it possible and if something like this has been attempted.
