KISS PRINCIPLE VS OVER ENGINEERING

In software development, simplicity is a strength. The KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle encourages us to build the simplest solution that effectively solves the problem.

Over-engineering does the opposite—adding unnecessary complexity, features, or architecture for problems that may never exist. This often leads to higher costs, harder maintenance, and slower development.

Build what you need today. Add complexity only when there’s a real reason for it.

Great software isn’t about clever code it’s about simple solutions that work.
