Negating compound boolean expressions (De Morgan's Laws)

Read Original

The article describes a pair programming session where two developers wrote logically equivalent boolean expressions for a validation rule. The author explains De Morgan's Laws, which state that !(A || B) equals !A && !B, and demonstrates their application in Go. It also mentions the Staticcheck linter's QF1001 rule for automatically applying this law.
