KISS, an acronym for keep it simple, stupid or keep it stupid simple, is a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960.[1][2] The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore, simplicity should be a key goal in design, and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. The phrase has been associated with aircraft engineer Kelly Johnson.[3] The term 'KISS principle' was in popular use by 1970.[4] Variations on the phrase include: 'Keep it simple, silly', 'keep it short and simple', 'keep it simple and straightforward',[5] 'keep it small and simple', keep it simple, soldier,[6] or keep it simple sailor.
Variants[edit]
The principle most likely finds its origins in similar minimalist concepts, such as Occam's razor, Leonardo da Vinci's 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication', Shakespeare's 'Brevity is the soul of wit', Mies Van Der Rohe's 'Less is more', Bjarne Stroustrup's 'Make Simple Tasks Simple!', or Antoine de Saint Exupéry's 'It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away'. Iconstix 3 9 2020. Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, urged his designers to 'Simplify, then add lightness'. Heath Robinson machines and Rube Goldberg's machines, intentionally overly-complex solutions to simple tasks or problems, are humorous examples of 'non-KISS' solutions.
