Choose clarity and simplicity over clever or complex constructs. Avoid unnecessary abstractions, complex function compositions, and “clever” code patterns that sacrifice readability for brevity.

Key principles:

• Use direct, explicit code over complex function compositions like Option.map (Fun.const true)
• Prefer simple conditionals over polymorphic variants with unnecessary indirection
• Choose appropriate built-in functions (List.exists for boolean checks, String.starts_with over manual substring comparison)
• Avoid polymorphic equality operators when specific ones are available
• Extract helper functions to eliminate code duplication rather than repeating complex logic

Example:

(* Avoid: clever but hard to read *)
code_config = Option.map (Fun.const true) code_config

(* Prefer: explicit and clear *)
match code_config with 
| None -> false 
| Some _ -> true

(* Or even simpler *)
Option.is_some code_config

The goal is code that any team member can quickly understand and modify. When choosing between a clever one-liner and a few clear lines, prefer clarity. This improves maintainability and reduces the cognitive load for future developers working with the code.
