## The Goal

<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.

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