Stop Writing if (!x) — Here’s Why It’s Bad Software Design

Stop writing if (!x) — it’s not just a style nitpick, it’s bad software design. It's why I avoid the ! operator in conditions, why I prefer == false, and how this small readability choice connects to bigger design principles. We’ll look at: Boolean blindness and why generic booleans hurt maintainability Modeling real domain states instead of cramming them into flags Using intention-revealing predicates to make business rules obvious The Specification pattern for composing complex policies These changes aren’t about making code “prettier” — they’re about making it easier to read, review, and change without introducing bugs. 🔗 Kurrent (formely EventStoreDB) https://kurrent.io 🔔 Subscribe:    / @codeopinion   💥 Join this channel to get access to a private Discord Server and any source code in my videos. 🔥 Join via Patreon   / codeopinion   ✔️ Join via YouTube    / @codeopinion   📝 Blog: https://codeopinion.com 👋 Twitter:   / codeopinion   ✨ LinkedIn:   / dcomartin   📧 Weekly Updates: https://mailchi.mp/63c7a0b3ff38/codeo... 0:00 False 0:48 Boolean Blindness 2:30 Types 3:44 Specifications
