    When I was a young dev
My senior took me into the city
To push my code to prod
He said "Son, when you promo
Would you be the savior of the broken
The buggy and the OOM'd?"

    This is what feature flags are for. You can test in production to your hearts content if you use them!

      Yeah. Warning - uninvited poetic waxing on feature flags and leadership choices, incoming…

      We all agree we inevitably do some live testing at our customers risk, because no test environment is perfect.

      With feature flags, we’re able to negotiate how many of our customers to test on, at a time.

      But some of us prefer to forgo feature flags and risk our entire customer base on every change. It saves money, at least for a little while.

      I’m not exactly fun at executive leadership meetings, but somehow I keep getting invited to them. Heh.

    last place I worked had an environment refered to as poc/staging. poc. staging. these are supposed to be as far apart as possible in a non prod environment not combined.
