Description
KISS, which stands for "keep it simple, stupid," is a design principle first noted by the United States Navy in 1960. According to the KISS principle, most systems work best when they are kept simple rather than complicated; thus, simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. Kelly Johnson, an aircraft engineer, has been associated with the phrase. While popular usage has been "Keep it simple, stupid," Johnson transcribed it as "Keep it simple, stupid" (no comma), and this reading is still used by many authors.
Variations on the phrase include: "Keep it simple, silly", "keep it short and simple", "keep it short and sweet", "keep it simple and straightforward", "keep it small and simple", "keep it simple, soldier", "keep it simple, sailor", or "keep it sweet and simple".
The acronym is also used in the field of software development. Moreover, it is the main principle of Arch Linux distribution.
