> For example, in software development, "keep it simple" often directly conflicts with "dont repeat yourself" as it takes increased complexity to achieve reuse of code.

KISS and DRY are different paradigms, i.e. come from different schools of programming.

KISS -

Most people would not recognize simple code if it hit them I'm the mouth.

KIES (keep it easy, stupid) is what they mean, and that means following idioms, frameworks, that are familiar.
