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. ❤️

Kudos to our Top Authors this week!
It's thoughtful and engaging writing, reflections, and tutorials like yours that make DEV an amazing community to join and remain a part of ❤️
This is so surprising for being my first time posting here. Ironically I almost didn't post my article on imposter syndrome, because of imposter syndrome, and knowing there were other articles here on the topic I didn't expect it to get much traction.
This community really is amazing and quite supportive. I've lurked around too long without interacting, but I'm excited now to learn from everyone else and help where I can.
Thank you so much! 💙
