For example, I'm not approving anything without input validation (frontend or backend). I have no idea if you're actually going to add validation later before the fflag is removed. "Trust me bro" doesn't work for me.

I mean you can have validation for the features you’ve written already behind the feature flag, while holding off on the stuff that doesn’t exist yet.

Feature flags don’t mean throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
