HQcredits:
A soft fork is an upgrade to the software that is backward-compatible and has validators in an older version of the chain see the new version as valid. Effectively, a hard fork, more often than not, leads to a permanent chain separation, as the old version is no longer compatible with the new version.

We're always in different situations.
Today, perhaps hard work; later, a soft style of work would be preferable.
