Thoughts on Software Development, .Net, OOP, Design Patterns and all things cool



Replacing the KISS principle with the KIDD principle

 

I am pretty sure most of us have heard of the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle.  But I would like to coin a new principle.  This is the KIDD principle.

So, what does KIDD stand for?


K – Keep
I – It
D – Difficult
D – Dummy


Sadly it appears that way to many software developers follow the KIDD principle, not the KISS principle.  It is no wonder that so many applications suck.

Till next time.
