Thank you to the DEV team for including my article in this week's Top 7 💛

To be honest, I wasn't sure how this post would be received. I went into writing it with many of the same questions other developers have about AI, and I hoped sharing my perspective after reading the original essay would help others who were feeling the same way.

The best part has been reading everyone's thoughts in the comments. I've enjoyed seeing people with different experiences add their own perspectives and continue the conversation in ways I hadn't imagined. I also learned a lot from those discussions.

And to everyone who read the article, shared their story, offered feedback, or joined the conversation, thank you 💛

And congratulations to all the other authors (@dannwaneri, @manolito99, @ishaansehgal, @headzoo, @shyamala_u, @dynamicwebpaige) whose posts made it into the Top 7 this week 🎉

Thank you to the DEV team for this. wrote "What Actually Happens When You Call an LLM API" to explain why my API calls from port Harcourt feel different from what the benchmarks suggest. didn't expect it to land the way it did.

congratulations to everyone else in the top 7.

This is amazing! I initially worried my thoughts were too trivial and i'm late to the party. But I’ve learned it's never too late to share, even the simplest messages can deeply resonate with folks. :). Congratulations to the other authors featured here and every one building and contributing to this amazing platform.

that LLM API latency piece is worth bookmarking - the geographic tax angle is something most tutorials skip entirely
