Multiple Boolean Props are a Code Smell

The article critiques the pattern of using multiple boolean props (like 'primary', 'warning', 'danger') in a UI component, identifying it as a code smell. It explains how this leads to impossible states and exposes implementation details. The author proposes replacing the booleans with a single prop using an enumeration (enum) to enforce valid states and improve component API design.
