Choose explicit and semantic code constructs that enhance readability over more concise but less clear alternatives. This improves code maintainability and reduces cognitive load for developers.

Key practices:

Example transformations:

// Avoid: && operator in JSX (can cause rendering issues)
{ENABLE_DEV_WARNINGS && heyDeveloper}

// Prefer: explicit ternary
{ENABLE_DEV_WARNINGS ? heyDeveloper : null}

// Avoid: manual string operations
toPathname[toPathname.length - 1] === "/"

// Prefer: semantic methods
toPathname.endsWith("/")

This approach makes code intentions clearer, reduces the chance of subtle bugs, and makes the codebase more accessible to developers of varying experience levels.
