+## Prefer positive over negative
+
+It's easier to have at most one negation when reading code, so:
+
+```jsx
+/* Bad */
+const isNotOldEnough = age < 13
+if (isNotOldEnough) {
+  // ...
+} else {
+  // ...
+}
+
+if (!isNotOldEnough) {
+  // ...
+} else {
+  // Wait this case is for the else of if !isNotOldEnough, is... If not not isNotOldEnough!
+}
+
+
+/* Good */
+const isOldEnough = age >= 13
+if (isOldEnough) {
+  // ...
+} else {
+  // ...
+}
+
+if (!isOldEnough) {
+  // ...
+} else {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
 ## Reflect the expected result
 
 A name should reflect the expected result.
