      Feature Flags is a concept that helps to enable or disable a feature on an app. Example you would want to roll out a new button on app for a certain set of users, A naive and simplified implementation would look like something below

      flags = server.getFlags() // Fetch/Compute feature flags
      
      if (flags.FeatureA == true) {
      // show button
      }

        Hm, I still not sure about this article lesson.

        So, main issue is that users of old version can use new feature, but they should not? On a desktop app? But why they sould not be able to do it in the first place?

        I mean idea is good, but situation described in article looks like completely fictitious or incomplete…
