Totally agreed. I've tried explain exactly this issue in a talk [1], trying to find a useful synthesis between different paradigms like KISS, DRY and YAGNI. [1

  I asked everyone's favorite chat AI to come up with a new buzzword using the letters from those. The best was KINDergartener (uses all the letters). I would describe this as a programming paradigm for people who are new to the programming and real work and havn't found out that the getting shit done and shipping the code to users is the most important state for code to be in.

  The trick is to understand this paradigms, why they came to be and what they want to archive and as much important when to not apply them. Then program with the things you have learned in mind, instead of blindly following the some "paradigms rules", 'cause that's never ending well.
