Knight Capital could become rich thanks to:

Feature Flags
...
Then they forgot to feed the engineers which could not clean up a feature flag.

You know it's the beginning of the end in software,

The most obvious benefit of static type checking is that it allows early detection of some programming errors.
Errors that are detected early can be fixed immediately, rather than lurking in the code to be discovered much later when the program has been deployed.
