## The Goal
|
|
|
|
|
Our goal is not to have the biggest list of stuff.
|
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to have a **comprehensible** list of most valuable things any programmer should know about.

The world is not static. Everything changes.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
This is why we prioritize strategically valuable skills/knowledge.<br>
|
|

This is why there are so many philosophical resources in that list.

<details><summary>We do not add to stress/hype level :zap: </summary><p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are enough stress sources in everybody's lifes.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
We strive to be helpful without adding to the stress and creating hype.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
Most endless stream resources (forums, newsletters, blogs, communities) are noisy and create questionable value.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
Be mindful of that fact when adding resources.

We do not code in sake of coding. We code to solve other people's problems.<br>
|

This is why resources on soft skills are an essential part of that list.
