On implementing a client for feature flags in your UI codebase

This document isn't an explainer on Feature Flags, you can find that with my amateur writeup, or literally hundreds of better writeups out there.

This document is also agnostic to the choice of service you'd use: LaunchDarkly or split.io or optimizely or whatever; that's orthogonal to this conversation.

Instead, this document is a list of considerations for implementing a client for using Feature Flags for User Interface development. Service providers usually give a simple fetch and use client and that's it; I contend that there's a lot more to care about. Let's dive in.

To encourage usage, we'd like for the developer experience to be as brutally simple as possible. So, this should be valid usage:

jaredpsimpson

    // Get rid of '#' and convert it to integer
    long int number = strtol(&command[0], NULL, 16);

    // Split them up into r, g, b values
    int red = number >> 16; 
    int green = number >> 8 & 0xFF;
    int blue = number & 0xFF;

‪“‬In what way is JS any more maintainable than CSS? How does writing CSS in JS make it any more maintainable?”

‪Happy to chat about this. There’s an obvious disclaimer that there’s a cost to css-in-js solutions, but that cost is paid specifically for the benefits it brings; as such it’s useful for some usecases, and not meant as a replacement for all workflows. ‬

‪(These conversations always get heated on twitter, so please believe that I’m here to converse, not to convince. In return, I promise to listen to you too and change my opinions; I’ve had mad respect for you for years and would consider your feedback a gift. Also, some of the stuff I’m writing might seem obvious to you; I’m not trying to tell you if all people of some of the details, but it might be useful to someone else who bumps into this who doesn’t have context)‬

So the big deal about css-in-js (cij) is selectors.
