The 7 Most Popular DEV Posts from the Past Week

1. Think 💡

Using else if as an example, Fabio reminds us that we should always try to understand why 'rules' or 'best practices' are the way they are. You might not discover the implicit behavior surrounding your code until you really start asking why things behave the way they do.

2. Wisdom Gained

A summarized retro on all the interviews taken during a quest to find a new job. Great advice for both those looking to get hired and those doing the hiring.

3. A frustrating story

Do you feel valued by your company? An example of conflict between a developer and employer.

4. "Enjoying something that hurts you"

^ that's a direct quote from Batuhan, who is developing his own operating system. The article shares a bit more about what he's building, and the comments tell you why.

5. Practice Practice Practice

Tips on cultivating your problem solving skills!

6. Let's do this!

A thorough guide on how to generate an actionable plan for any web app idea. From defining goals to creating steps to sketching out mind maps.

7. A potentially unpopular opinion

Why one may think Java is easier to work with than Node, demonstrated with a single page application.

That's it for our weekly wrap up! Keep an eye on dev.to this week for daily content and discussions...and if you miss anything, we'll be sure to recap it next Monday!
