Top 7 Featured 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.

Improving the experience of a product with technical solutions

@michaelmangial1 explains how to stand out as a developer when collaborating with product teams. The secret? The more trusted you are, the more valuable you are.

Navigating... mapping 🗺

Ever encountered the error field type is not supported for [whatever you are trying to do with Elasticsearch]? @lisahjung is here to help.

Sometimes, the fastest solution is ok!

@dekel makes an argument for using jQuery for certain types of projects.

The React learning curve

Congrats to @stuxnat for completing their final project for the Flatiron School! Thanks for sharing it with us.

The ongoing journey of being a dev

"Learning how to code isn't the end of the journey for a software developer," says @bk_973. So, how can you continue to improve? Read on...

Illustrating music

A few months back, @aneeqakhan created a boombox illustration by only using CSS. In this post, they share how they animated it!

"Entities can not inject services!"

@salah856 explains that it's simple to implement a business rule in an entity method when the business logic only uses the properties of that entity. But what if the business logic requires you to use any external services? This post will help you navigate this conundrum.

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!
