@cramforce To some extent yes, if you have thousands of flags it means you have thousands ofOn twitter.com
if (flag)which sounds pretty spaghetti. But if each flag is only ever used in one if-statement, then I would argue that's pretty well managed complexity.

@cramforce I think the real spaghetti would be:Permalink On twitter.com
if (flag1) { if (flag2) doSomething(); else if (flag3) doSomethingElse(); else doSomethingElser(); }And *that* is avoidable with keystones when used correctly.

@cramforce Actually a better example would be:Permalink On twitter.com
// foo.js if (flag) doSomething(); bar.doSomethingRelated();// bar.js function doSomethingRelated() { if (flag) doSomethingElse(); }The keystone pattern helps avoid flag usage like this to avoid that kind of spaghetti.
