Part time @dimagi and @placecardme. I make things, do entrepreneurship poorly, and sometimes write about it.

I just heard a high school girl tell her friends "I don't do selfies" and her friend replied "I know, they're so 2014"...
...apparently even the things I think I do to feel young are five years out of date

Read through some of the comments. It's amazing how shortsighted some people are.
The whole "optimize for
freedom, happiness, and the long haul" philosophy feels like a secret club that people just don't get.
Glad to be on the other side.

Today marks two years since I quit Google to create my own software business. I'm sharing some lessons that helped me triple my revenue this year and reflecting a bit on my lifestyle as a solo developer mtlynch.io/solo-developer…

One observation: this is the first real work I've done on the product and it feels great to be investing in the codebase again.
Code gets *dusty* when you just make a change here and there over the course of months/years.
Making big changes is like spring cleaning.

What got done this week on Place Card Me:
- Added page to view all your card sessions if you're logged in
- Drafted new pricing page
- Started process of rolling out new pricing changes behind a flag

Before/after of new pricing/positioning in the card maker.
Advantages:
- Decouples pricing from plans
- Psychologically easier to pay (think poker chips)
- Less work for me to change pricing
Disadvantages::

Yep, exactly.
In the wild I see them used for more nefarious long-running purposes like segmenting, A/B testing, or user-facing settings, but that's definitely not the intended use case.

Basically you develop behind a "flag" or toggle. So like:
if flag:
new_stuff()
else:
old_stuff()
The flag can typically be set dynamically based on a number of factors.
Benefits include elimination of long-running branches, big merges, ability to QA, canary releases, etc.

Depends on the project. At Dimagi we rolled our own thing that's largely based on the user.
For most projects I use a library (waffle) that has support for URL-based, user-based, and site-wide toggles.
Most frameworks have something already built.

Feature flags have improved my development processes by leaps and bounds.
Transitioning to flag-driven releases is one of the single greatest improvements a software project can make towards efficiency and stability.

Yeah, makes sense.
I love what the webflow team is doing but I think of it as more of a rapid prototyping tool for people who are already developers.
Think I'm talking about a different set of priorities.

Yeah i guess what I mean is "does it have the same properties as clean code"?
As in, is it easy to modify, maintain, test, etc.?
Again, maybe my bias, but I'd suspect the answer is "no"

that must have taken an inordinate amount of time, no?
also, I would be curious how it stacks up on the "clean code" metric (whatever the webflow equivalent is)
