Great article on the principles of K-I-S-S. Keep it simple, stupid!!

As an architect, I’ve learned a lot by doing things the hard way. It’s within our nature to be a purist. We love to dot our I’s and cross our T’s. We try to build the pie in the sky “This system is scalable, I can build anything on it!” Is that ever true. I doubt it.

If you are working on a new project, KISS is the way to go. Keep it simple, quick to market, and release often. We try to build systems and guess what we need, but in reality we don’t know, and building a large system for a unknown audience/market, is a big bet. A bet companies are not willing to pay.

Keep It Simple, Stupid
