I use a lot of unneeded parentheses. Makes the intent of the program clear. If the expression gets ugly, factor out subexpressions into boolean variables. If you are depending on short circuiting to avoid computing costly subexpresions, make the dependency explicit with a nested `if`. I had a thought the other day: Complicated code should look complicated. Don't try to hide your convoluted logic. In the end, someone will have to mentally unpack it into the multi-line verbose version to understand it anyway.
