-''This is about the [[acronym]] K.I.S.S.  For other meanings of 'kiss', see [[kissing]].
-"'''Keep It Simple, Stupid'''" (or "'''Keep It Simple, Silly'''" for more polite notes) is a principle that is often used when trying to solve a problem or create a design. At the core of KISS, simplicity triumphs over complexity, and the trivial, straightforward approach is often the best one.
-KISS is used in [[software]] development, [[animation]], and general strategic planning.
-It should be noted that KISS is not always the best approach. Sometimes, the optimal solution is complicated and unintuitive. [[Algorithm]] development is a very good example of this: The KISS approach is usually called the "naive" approach, and more complex algorithms often solve a problem faster and more space-efficient.
