Step 4 of the Seven Steps in https://github.com/dwyl/hq/issues/147 is to :star: this repo.

Why?

encouraging (requiring) people to :star: the repo to confirm they have read/understood and intend to follow the process is the only way I could think of to foster the necessary behaviour for success in 2017.

The prospect of getting $300 Headphones is a pretty decent "carrot" when you consider that reading the README.md. will take no more than 10 minutes.

We have collectively wasted countless hours of Dev & QA time over the past year because people have not been required to follow process. ⌛️ 💸 🔥 Hours that should have been spent on the craft/features. Which would have made users/stakeholders/clients happy.

It's my fault for not making sure we had a clearer "onboarding" process... We're going to fix it in 2017.

DWYL will be a well-oiled machine running on a hydrogen fuel-cell producing water in the desert! 👍

Simple: we ask people to :star: the repo after they have read the guidelines...! ✅
