First partial paragraph (graph continued from previous page)

"...Simple code is less error prone, easier to debug, and much easier to extend. The DRY principle is not a means-unto it’s self."

The concept of "DRY" has not yet been introduced here. The section heading is "KISS", so the introduction of the term "DRY" here without spelling out the acronym or immediately explaining why DRY is under the KISS heading is both jarring and confusing. Perhaps the author meant "The KISS principle"?
