KISS is an acronym that stands for "Keep It Simple, Stupid" and refers to a design principle of developing code and systems in a way that is as simple as possible to increase understandability, ease of development and maintenance. Applying KISS principles involves breaking problems down into small pieces, writing concise code to directly solve each problem, and reviewing code informally to identify issues early. Benefits of KISS include being able to solve problems faster, produce higher quality and more maintainable code, and build larger systems more easily.

4. How will I benefit from KISS?
• You should be able to solve more problems, faster.
• You should be able to produce code to solve complex problems easily.
• You should be able to produce higher quality code
l
• You should be able to build larger systems, easier to maintain
• You're code base will be more flexible, easier to extend,
modify or refactor when new requirements arrive
• You should be able to achieve more

5. How to apply KISS...
• Be Humble, Except it SIMPLE, SHORT AND STUPID
• Break down your work
• Keep your code small
• Solve the problem, then code it. Not the other way around
• Don't be afraid to throw away code.
