### 1. Prefer slice() Over substring() and substr()

### Practical Guidelines
1314
-
1315
-
-**Always use `slice()`** for new code and migrations
1316
-
-**End index is exclusive**: `slice(0, 5)` includes indices 0,1,2,3,4 (not 5)
1317
-
-**Negative indices are powerful**: `slice(-3)` gets last 3 characters elegantly
1318
-
-**Consistency matters**: Use `slice()` consistently across your codebase
1319
-
-**Unicode awareness**: All methods work with UTF-16 code units (not always code points)
1320
-
-**Performance**: Differences are negligible; choose based on functionality
1321
-
-**Migration**: Replace `substr()` and `substring()` with `slice()` when refactoring
