"Don't branch" was the hardest culture shift for me at Etsy. I'm still trying to figure out when it's appropriate. https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabflavor/article/recommendations_on_branching/ …
@kellan the problem is that I haven't heard anyone argue *against* feature flags, only *for* branches...

@avibryant sure. but I just want to make sure we're starting at the same point. talking about software in the abstract is fraught. -
@kellan agreed. Just that someone can stipulate your assertion and still have lots to discuss. Which is fine! I'll get off Twitter now :) -
@avibryant@kellan it's important that even at Etsy people use branches. -
@avibryant@kellan when the culture is that "we don't do that". Don't we run the risk of failing to learn how to branch effectively? -
@aconbere@avibryant@kellan Good points all, but in my experience feature flags have a marked democratizing effect. - 1 more reply
