Software design serves as a critical bridge between conceptual thinking and real-world products – where technical reasoning meets creativity. A well-crafted design not only ensures stable software operation but also enables development teams to easily scale, maintain, and adapt the system to future changes.
KISS, DRY, and YAGNI are commonly referred to as “software design principles” or more specifically as “programming principles” (programming principles / coding principles).
Applying SOLID principles in programming makes the code easier to maintain, extend, and reduces errors. Not only does it ensure clarity, but SOLID also serves as the foundation for building clean code, supporting effective teamwork, and improving software quality.
