David Singleton: Coding agents have crossed a chasm. If I imagine a ladder of our evolving relationship with coding agents, we’ve climbed to a new rung. We’ve moved from “smarter autocomplete” and “over the shoulder helper” to genuine “delegate-to” relationships - they’re like eager and determined interns. (more)

aka Feature Flag, see also A/B Test. Feature Toggles (often also refered to as Feature Flags) are a powerful technique, allowing teams to modify system behavior without changing code. They fall into various usage categories, and it's important to take that categorization into account when implementing and managing toggles. Toggles introduce complexity.

And as ideas sprout from our mind-trees, they're enriched and diversified by others...And this is no coincidence: our thoughts activate in patterns of association... What does this suggest about conversation? Not only is it more rich than our utterances alone, but it's nonlinear, and never complete. (more)
