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.
1. Put it on main, disabled by a flag
2. Deploy with the rest of the system
3. Unflag to selected users early
4. Fix bugs for those users
5. Unflag to more users
6. Repeat until shipped
Feels like a perfect strategy to pair with agents
This is the clarity we've been crying out for.
But it's a poisoned chalice. This is a 10X cut to claude -p disguised as a monthly bonus.
Anthropic is discouraging any kind of programmatic usage. And that's fine - no subsidy lasts forever.
But it's time to try Codex.

Oh yeah, the entire industry for 20 years
Stop going against decades of knowledge because someone in SF shipped it as a 'mode'
