Feature Flags Book: Building Inclusive Products

By

The hard part about the idea of "minimum viable product," for me, is you don't know what "minimum" is, and you don't know what "viable" is.

— Ben Silbermann (co-founder of Pinterest)

In the digital product space, an EPD (Engineering, Product, Design) organization, is often described as a partnership. At work, we even referred to this as the three-legged stool—a metaphor which depicts each leg/department as being an equally important part of the overall product design process.

But, this is an idealized version of reality. More often, the EPD organization is built like a Totem pole; with Product at the top, Design in the middle, and lowly Engineering down at the bottom. This is much less like a partnership and much more like an assembly line.


In 2023, I published a book titled, "Feature Flags: Transform Your Product Development Workflow". This book contains everything that I've learned over the last 7 years about integrating feature flags into my product development. But, a static book can only take you so far. In an effort to make the book more interactive, I've created a series of blog posts—one per chapter—that provide a place in which the readers and I can discuss the content. You can purchase the book and / or read a preview of each chapter on the book's mini-site. Feel free to leave a question or a comment down below.

I believe in love. I believe in compassion. I believe in human rights. I believe that we can afford to give more of these gifts to the world around us because it costs us nothing to be decent and kind and understanding. And, I want you to know that when you land on this site, you are accepted for who you are, no matter how you identify, what truths you live, or whatever kind of goofy shit makes you feel alive! Rock on with your bad self!
