n. Complexity increases the possibility of failure; a twin-engine airplane
|
|
|
|
|
has twice as many engine problems as a single-engine airplane. By analogy,
|
|
|
|
|
in both software and electronics, the rule that simplicity increases
|
|
|
|
|
robustness. It is correspondingly argued that the right way to build
|
|
|
|
|
reliable systems is to put all your eggs in one basket, after making sure
|
|
|
|
|
that you've built a really good basket. See also KISS Principle , elegant.
