"KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid"

This is a phrase that every coder/devloper probably needs to brainwash themselves. Something that my new project manager told me after a brief chat with him. Too many times have I got into a mess because I am looking at problems in the most complicated of manners. I guess that kinda represents my personality - give me an extremely hard problem and I might solve it but give me 1+1= and I would go nuts thinking about whether the number 1 actually denotes the amount of one, its history, why did they name it one as one and not one as two and all kinda crap.

Anyways moral of the story is that keep things simple and try not to fuck around too much in the head. You usually end up with good and better results.

Cheers,

The day was dark; an irony indeed in retrsposect of a brilliant, good man turned into the devil. The smell of blood was close nearing and he longed for it. Grabbing his axe ever so quietly, he crept towards the naive object. Hungry he was but without the need for any digestion other than justice. With a sudden burst of anger and proximity on target, he ran towards the object - 200 men without any clue of his presence….. [To be Continued ...]
