I will share the practical approach I used in a live, multi-repository system: cross-referencing a flag-management tool’s API with organization-wide code search to understand which flags were still referenced and where. This addresses a practical, publicly documented gap where some tools’ built-in code references work at repository level and do not scale cleanly across an organization with many repositories. + +I will cover the classification framework, a staged deprecation process using small, monitored cleanup waves, a PR checklist, and ways to keep flags from accumulating again. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/events/2026-prague/speakers/maish-saidel-keesin.md b/content/events/2026-prague/speakers/maish-saidel-keesin.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..bc1251a4f2 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/events/2026-prague/speakers/maish-saidel-keesin.md @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ ++++ +Title = "Maish Saidel-Keesing" +type = "speaker" +linktitle = "maish-saidel-keesin" +image = "maish-saidel-keesin.jpg" ++++ + +Maish Saidel-Keesing is a Senior Developer Advocate at AWS, where he channels over 20 years of hands-on development and infrastructure expertise into empowering developers to build transformative cloud solutions. + +Maish doesn't just talk about technology; he builds with it.
