Stop using trivial Guard Clauses! Try this instead.

Guard clauses, on the surface, sound like a great idea. They can reduce conditional complexity by exiting a method or function early. However, I find how guard clauses are used in the real world to be of little value. Often polluting application-level code for trivial preconditions. I will refactor some code to push those preconditions to the edge of your application so your domain focuses on real business concerns.
