The 7 Most Popular DEV Posts from the Past Week

Every Tuesday we round up the previous week's top posts based on traffic, engagement, and a hint of editorial curation. The typical week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday, but don't worry, we take into account posts that are published later in the week.

Editorial note: Hi everyone! Gracie here. You might have seen me around DEV — I'm the Content Manager at Forem and an admin/moderator of CodeNewbie Community and DEV. I'll be sharing the Top 7 and weekly newsletter while Jess is away on parental leave. I'm very excited to be a part of your weekly ritual for the next few months! Thanks for having me.

"I want to make sure all we have to do is look for talent"

@resourcefulmind shares a glimpse inside their experience as a software developer in Nigeria. Thank you for trusting the DEV Community with your reflections, feelings, frustrations, and honest reporting ❤️ I learned so much from your article.

"Your emotional & mental state as a dev has a direct impact on your work"

@tyaga001, I see so many posts on DEV alone that communicate this truth. Highly recommend this post!

"When you hear of automation what comes to your mind?"

That's the question @kalashin1 asks in this post — then, they go on to helpfully rewire your answer to make CI/CD more comprehensible. Thanks, Kinanee!

“Mens Sana in Corpore Sano”

Or, “a healthy mind in a healthy body” as the Romans used to say. @creativetim_official helps developers examine ways to reduce burnout to achieve more balance and less burnout in this post.

"Setting up a new system is a neverending task..."

— but @erikaheidi is pretty happy with the current state of their new laptop! Take a look at how they got there with an awesome Ubuntu setup process...

Web components can be useful in the right context

@emileperron shows us which contexts make the most sense to use them in.

Interview prep: JS edition

@pietraszek shares some common JavaScript questions and simple code tests you might face in a future interview. Helpful!

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 Tuesday!
