The second I saw this, I thought of Jane Wong (https://twitter.com/wongmjane) and her peeks at unreleased features being tested in major apps. You should connect with her to figure out how to help teams be intentional about where and how these tests leak to end-users -- it's highly connected to this internal review cycle.

Uh, no it's not. Her "leaks" all come from finding code paths hidden behind disabled feature flags in consumer apps. This has nothing to do with the front-end review process, but entirely to do with the way companies gate features that are already shipped to the end-user behind temporary flags.
I've never labelled myself as "leaker" nor whatever I discovered as "leaks"
That's what I find funny/absurd about the amount of stuffs I found just by diving the app's code
Maybe if companies stop bloating their apps with the features that only 1% of the world will ever be able to use, I wouldn't have been able to discover all these?
I'm not saying you've ever labelled yourself as a leaker, but the person I was replying to definitely tried to label your work as "leaks". I don't think companies really care that you discover their features ahead of launch — if they did they would change the way feature flags work.
Selective leaks? No leaks? Let's be intentional!
