* “ Keep It Short, Simple, Small, and Self-contained” – my personal favourite. * “ Keep It Simple, Shithead“, the dysphemistic version. * “ Keep It Stupid, Simple“, the joking version * “ Keep It Simple, Silly“, another kinder phrasing * “ Keep It Simple, Keep It Stupid“, which produces the acronym KISKIS * “ Keep It Short and Simple“, a common marketing maxim for sales presentations 'Mi padre rico creía en el principio que el llamaba KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).'

#KISS KEEP IT STUPID SIMPLE SOFTWARE#
here) is an important principle in software development, even though it apparently originated in engineering. * “ Keep It Small and Scalable“, often used when discussing IT KISS ('keep it simple, stupid' or 'keep it simple stupid', see e.g. * “ Keep It Simple and Stupid“, often used when discussing artificial intelligence * “ Keep It Simple, Sweetie“, gentler, or perhaps more patronising Some of these have been created to avoid the blatant insult, others better describe the principle. To finish off I’ll just give a few of my favourite acronyms quoted from Wikipedia. While you can’t write the two off (as they are still mega successful), and because Yahoo describes itself as a “portal” rather than search engine, their over-complicated styles of site may be a cause of distraction with the customer and user.Įinstein himself said, “ everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” In the design world, this could be translated as supplying all the relevant information but in an easy-to-read form, whilst not cutting down on the meat and juice of the site’s content. Sites like Yahoo and Amazon are unfortunately cluttered with information, links upon links, delving into the black hole of their sites. The painfully slow loading time of this was always a constant pain, and so when Google came along, no wonder it was a smash hit. I certainly remember as an IT student in primary school being told to go to Altavista in order to search the web. Simplicity is a thing which no doubt was a factor in the rapid growth of Google. By keeping it simple you are guaranteeing that people won’t get confused and will be able to make a straight yes / no decision about whether to stay on the site or cross it off. Of course that’s where the name comes in. They want information, and a site which is easy to use and navigate. Whilst I was designing the new GolfChum site (which isn’t up at the moment – still under works), I realised that people don’t want clutter. While many people (including myself) overuse this word to the point of extinction, it actually involves the use of the KISS principle. You may have already come across the phrase “Web 2.0”. This word now is being used for startups and sites all over the net, so I thought I’d cover it in its own little post. KISS! At first I didn’t know what it meant, but learnt on various forums that it translated as “Keep It Simple Stupid!”. This is especially important in large codebases or when working on a team.7 The KISS Principle – Keep It Simple Stupid!Īfter working on an array of new projects including the awaiting releasee GolfChum, my forum ChipandChat and now venturing into the realms of informational sites (which I’ll tell you about in another post), I came across a principle which I seem to be using over and over again.
#KISS KEEP IT STUPID SIMPLE CODE#
Simple code is more readable, which makes it easier for developers to understand what the code is doing. This means that changes can be made more quickly and with less risk of introducing bugs. Developers can understand what the code is doing and how it works more easily. Simple code is much easier to maintain than complex code. Simple code is also less prone to bugs and errors. Simple code is easier to understand, maintain, and extend. Simplicity is the key aspect of the KISS principle. This principle promotes code that is easy to understand, maintain, and extend. The KISS principle states that systems and code should be as simple as possible, without any unnecessary complexity.
