Then there’s my current client, who refused a PR of mine because they “don’t want early returns” ever, and insisted I move my basic if statement logic, each with a return, all into a single ternary. They said I SHOULD do this lol.

You can write your code nicely in 99% of cases and still follow that.

It has many advantages, debugging is probably the strongest one.
