Open Closed Principle vs KISS Principle
Developers should learn and apply the Open Closed Principle to reduce the risk of introducing bugs when adding features, as it minimizes changes to stable, tested code meets developers should learn and apply the kiss principle to create more robust, scalable, and maintainable software, especially in fast-paced or collaborative environments where complexity can lead to bugs and technical debt. Here's our take.
Open Closed Principle
Developers should learn and apply the Open Closed Principle to reduce the risk of introducing bugs when adding features, as it minimizes changes to stable, tested code
Open Closed Principle
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and apply the Open Closed Principle to reduce the risk of introducing bugs when adding features, as it minimizes changes to stable, tested code
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in large-scale applications, frameworks, and libraries where frequent updates or extensions are expected, such as in plugin architectures or when building extensible APIs
- +Related to: solid-principles, object-oriented-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
KISS Principle
Developers should learn and apply the KISS principle to create more robust, scalable, and maintainable software, especially in fast-paced or collaborative environments where complexity can lead to bugs and technical debt
Pros
- +It is particularly useful during initial design phases, code reviews, and refactoring efforts to ensure that systems remain accessible and easy to modify over time
- +Related to: software-design, code-refactoring
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Open Closed Principle if: You want it is particularly useful in large-scale applications, frameworks, and libraries where frequent updates or extensions are expected, such as in plugin architectures or when building extensible apis and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use KISS Principle if: You prioritize it is particularly useful during initial design phases, code reviews, and refactoring efforts to ensure that systems remain accessible and easy to modify over time over what Open Closed Principle offers.
