“We use feature toggles to allow us to avoid maintaining multiple branches..” my interviewer and future manager continued. I sat in an attentive trance, nodding my head, trying not to let it be known that I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. Later that day when I reflected on what had been an overall positive call, that term sat lurking in my mind. Feature toggles. It was something I’d never heard of before; not in college, nor on my internship. I said to myself I’d Google it later, and then promptly forgot all about it.
