| Jul 31, 2009 at 19:01 | comment | added | codekaizen | @Programmin Tool - I don't think "stupid" is superfluous. I think it conveys that we have a tendency to want to be "smart" and this manifests as unneeded complexity. As I see it, the "stupid" tries to remind us of this tendency by helping us remember what we initially think is "smart" is usually not. | |
| Jul 31, 2009 at 18:46 | comment | added | Programmin Tool | I always the KISS acronym was kind of dumb and hypocritical. After all, the extra S is more than the phrase needs. Keep It Simple conveys the point. The Stupid, Super, or whatever is superfluous. But hey, has to be clever right? | |
| Jun 22, 2009 at 10:20 | comment | added | Perica Zivkovic | KISS and KISS again ;-) | |
| Jun 14, 2009 at 13:04 | comment | added | ya23 | @Agos: But that's not the idea. It shouldn't be super simple. It should be simple enough ;) | |
| Jun 14, 2009 at 11:46 | comment | added | Agos | I also like the "Keep it SUPER simple" expansion of the acronym. | |
| Mar 9, 2009 at 12:49 | comment | added | Svante | This enumeration is the wrong way around. DRY should be first. | |
| Mar 9, 2009 at 12:29 | comment | added | Daniel Straight | I would also add YAGNI. | |
| Jan 8, 2009 at 20:11 | comment | added | Andrew G. Johnson | I'm actually working on a blog post about how these two are the two most near and dear to a programmers heart and how at the same time they are a bit of oxymorons as often times you'll need to choose one against the other | |
| Dec 9, 2008 at 16:33 | comment | added | Dennis C | I think KISS should be "Keep It Simple, Stupid!" | |
| Dec 4, 2008 at 8:35 | comment | added | Sandor Davidhazi | KISS should be Keep It Simple Smart. The first time you have to rewrite a large chunk of your code because you didn't design smart and extensible you will agree to this. :) | |
