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.

Remote pairing tips

@felvct has some great tips for making your remote pairing sessions as productive as possible — super helpful in these times of remote work and social distancing!

@apkoponen has been in IT for 10 years and picked up a few tips along the way.

Do you have some spare time to develop a project? @yuridevat has a great framework for figuring out what to build.

@fidalmathew shows us how to build a Pokedex using React.js. Super cool!

@whitep4nth3r shows us how to get data from a GraphQL API (and shares some helpful definitions along the way).

@deleteman123 wrote this post for anyone who lives in a country that is unable to access GitHub. Nobody should be excluded from getting noticed as a developer just because of US export laws!

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!
