Re:Show HN: Dorkly: Open Source Feature Flags

The sole reason I like feature flags is that I can quickly toggle off a change if it causes a problem. I'd hate to need to find someone to sign off on restoring service. Anything more than 1 or 2 clicks is just adding precious seconds to an outage. I've worked at places that gave broad implicit approval to developers to toggle away as needed. It worked well.

In these shops, this gets handled via paging on-call engineers. The on-call is sometimes given more latitude if their actions are auditable.
