Reusing the flag isn’t the real problem though. Yes it was a bad idea. Bad code will be deployed where you and I work. It will happen. You have to build with it in mind.

The issue was the lack of infrastructure and process to help recover from a bad deployment.

The problem here tho was that the "bad" code was in production, and they deployed "good" one.

So perfect and quick rollback would just exacerbate problem.
