KISS principle
The KISS principle today is often used by software developers, meaning the software should be designed in the simplest way, avoiding creeping featurism. More particularly, it is a leading principle in designing critical low-level routines of operating system kernels (at least for Linux), where it suggests to write the code in the most simple and self-explaining manner, to avoid errors (or make it easy to find them). Some suggest that UNIX was invented by following the KISS principle.
Engineers also use the KISS principle, since the simplest solution is usually the best solution to engineering challenges.
