This makes me feel old because it reminds me of when we used to cram our code into as small a space as possible to handle 25 line screens.

void someFunction() {
   if (something) {
      doThings();
      }
   }

void someFunction() {
  if (something) {
    DoThings();
  }
  else {
    DoDifferentThing();
  }
}

But with the modern style of always putting braces on separate lines, always put braces around even a simple assignment if it is e.g. an if clause (so the minimum number of lines for an if statement is 4). Some people even insist on always putting blank lines before and after any 'structured' statement (such as if/else, loops etc.),

I also like to reduce nesting If statements. Some devs love 50,000 nested If statements. No thank you.
