KISS Principle After René Magritte
This is not
a complicated
thing.
Someone asked for an apple. Remove the three extra steps below, keep delivery switched on, then deliver it. What can you take away and still get the job done?
3 extra steps left. Choose Remove, or deliver now to compare the result.
KISS · Keep it simple
Less to explain.
Less to go wrong.
Keep it simple: remove steps that add effort without improving the result. Keep the ones that make it work. Here, the extra approvals and machinery can go; delivery still matters.
The same idea, in code
const apple = "🍏";
committee.approve(apple);
FruitFactory.create("apple");
futureAdapter.wrap(apple);
deliver(apple);Extra approvals. Ask three people before handing over one apple.
A machine for every fruit. Build a whole fruit factory for a single apple.
Just-in-case packaging. Wrap it for a journey nobody has requested.
