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.

Making your GitHub profile a thing of beauty

@supritha explains how you can improve and prettify your GitHub profile in fantastic detail.

Mistakes were made

and that's ok! In this helpful and candid article, @tyaga001 walks us through some of the mistakes they made early on in their career. There's a lot to learn from here.

Give it up for Ash πŸ‘

Despite having a challenging week, @ash_bergs managed to write a fantastic guide to understanding React hooks. Really glad you're ok despite the car accident and feeling under the weather, Ash!

Out of the darkness and into the light

It's entirely understandable why dark mode is the preferred mode for lots of devs β€” but let's play devil's advocate for a moment with @sewangco to explore why light mode might actually be a better choice for some (don't @ me!)

Sightseeing in Frontend Land

@snickdx is our tour guide in this awesome, clear series on the frontend. In this edition, you'll learn all about state management. Pack your bags!

The 16 circles of "Dev Hell"

The road to developer hell is paved with legacy code. Thanks for the fright, @wadecodez 😱

Lots of benefits, few major code changes

What could be better? Sounds like React 18 Alpha is pretty great. Thanks for walking us through it, @cassidoo!

P.S. Catch Cassidy on the next DEV Community Twitch stream this Wednesday at 5 PM UTC. Info here ✨

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!
