Nick asked a short time ago if Occam's Razor had a role in software. I am writing something else but it brought to mind Ward Cunningham (inventor of the Wiki) and his dictum to build "the simplest thing that could possibly work."
Not exactly Occam, but certainly in its spirit. Of course, in the corporate world at least, no one pays any attention to Ward.
