> Risk management should indeed be a priority for all teams. But there are better ways of doing this than relying on feature flags, especially if your team has control over its own deployments. The vast majority of your bugs should be caught by your automated test suite and/or QA process. And the last few stragglers should be handled using incremental deployments, production alarms and rollbacks.

There is some confusion in this post. For risk management, feature flags are used to mitigate the risk of issues not being caught by the QA process. Wishing for a QA process to be 100% flawless doesn't make it so.

Also, guess what an incremental deployment is.

I think the blogger tried to make sweeping statements but didn't actually spent any time thinking through the arguments.
