    I've noticed a push to "delete staging." The idea is to push everything to prod and QA there with Feature Flags. It's a rat-nest of a solution to the problem of managing environments. Feature flags are perfect for some problems, but other times it's just shoving a square peg into a round hole. Like sure, we can walk to the store, it's cheap and easy. But in the long run, you probably should invest in a car.
