• 1. Eliminate if/else branching; early termination
• 2. Ambiguous definitions: ‘is’ function prefix to denote boolean return
• 3. Self documenting code: avoid belaboured comments
• 4. Consistent formatting. Use Eslint + Prettier to automate code style
• 5. DRY business logic. Look for opportunities to refactor. Make sure to test!
• 6. Fail or exit functions fast. Related to 1.
• 7. Avoid magic values - declare and use CONSTANTS instead.
• 8. Avoid violating single responsibility. Prefer to use pure functions (no side effects)
• 9. Overly clever code (code golf). Leads to impenetrable single liners (have to rewrite in order to debug)
• 10. Premature optimisations.
