Abstract
A guiding principle behind agile software development is the idea of keeping things simple. Making life simpler is an admirable goal, but unfortunately many developers have a knack for making one of two errors: oversimplifying something that really is complex; and overcomplicating something that should be easy. The paper considers how Extreme Programming attacks over-embellishment with the YAGNI (you aren´t gonna need it) principle.
