Hi @bam92 ! It's a combination of the popularity of posts (♥️, 🦄 , 🏷 , Comments) plus some editorial oversight. This allows us to spread the love to a variety of voices, topics, and people here on DEV. Thanks for asking!

Hi @muhimen123 ! We only pick one article per author in a given week. People may be given a spot more than once but we tend to balance it out a bit — awarding different authors from the previous week, for instance :)
