+## 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.
+
+## Contributing

+Bear in mind, that this repo is *highly opinionated* and *curated*.
+Your opinion on value of any resource may not match the opinion of curator.
+
+**No PR will be discarded without explanations!**
+
+
+## Core Values
+*Values are clickable*
+
+Less is more! :muscle:
+
+We :heart: simplicity.
+We :heart: essential stuff.
+This is why we strive to having less, but most valuable resources in the list.
+
We :heart: widely applicable knowledge/skills.
+
+The world is not static. Everything changes.
+This is why we prioritize strategically valuable skills/knowledge.
+This is why there are so many philosophical resources in that list.
+
We do not add to stress/hype level :zap:
+
+There are enough stress sources in everybody's lifes.
+We strive to be helpful without adding to the stress and creating hype.
+Most endless stream resources (forums, newsletters, blogs, communities) are noisy and create questionable value.
+Be mindful of that fact when adding resources.
+
Technology is always about human beings :man: :woman: :baby:.
+
+We do not code in sake of coding. We code to solve other people's problems.
+This is why resources on soft skills are an essential part of that list.
+
Do not add things you have not evaluated personally!
+
+Use your critical thinking to filter out non-essential stuff.
+Give honest arguments for why the resource should be included.
+Have you read this book?
+Can you give a short article?
+
Use reasoning based on our values.
+
+Before adding any resource, answer this questions to yourself:
+- Will it make every programmer a better human being?
+- Will it change the quality of programmer's work?
+- Will it change the quality of programmer's life?
+- Would you personally recommend this resource to your friend, starting on software development career?
+
+
One item per Pull Request.
+
+There may be a discussion related to an item you want to add.
+Adding just a single item per pull request makes it much easier for everyone involved.
+
Do not open issues with resources, create a Pull Request instead!
+
+It is just easier to discuss and decide on a resource within a Pull Request.
+
Use consistent set of resource type emoji
