Top 7 Featured DEV Posts of the Week

Every Monday, we dig through articles shared on DEV during the last week, plucking out those that we believe to be particularly interesting, helpful, and representative of our values as a community. The posts featured below cover a wide range of topics β€” whether you wanna listen to a dev recount how they explained Kubernetes to their Uber driver or you're looking for guidance on testing a website's accessibility, we got you covered. We hope you enjoy this small sampling of the many excellent posts shared on DEV!

By the way, big ups to those first-time top 7 recipients – we're delighted to welcome four brand new folks to our Top 7 author lineup: @ladykerr, @lnahrf, @therubberduckiee, & @jeevaramanathan. Congrats, y'all!

Now, let's take a look at those reads.



Embark on a journey with @therubberduckiee as she humorously recounts explaining Kubernetes to her Uber driver post-Kubecon 2023. Through creative illustrative drawings, she navigates the basics, breaking down concepts like containers, pods, and master nodes. Don't miss her unique storytelling approach that makes Kubernetes universally understandable and approachable. πŸš—πŸš€

Dive into the chaotic world of the developer job market with @dragosnedelcu as your guide. Unraveling the challenges akin to a "Tinder effect," the article cleverly portrays Senior Developers as the more equal in this ever-evolving landscape. A narrative that's both urgent and engaging, offering a roadmap for thriving amid the storm.

Enjoy creating the perfect entry-level animated photo gallery design with @alvaromontoro’s newest article. Short, but sweet, you will learn more about grid systems, styling in HTML and CSS, and adding interactivity.

New to GitHub Copilot? Let’s learn more about how @ladykerr uses GitHub Copilot in their deployment workflow for slidev presentation at GitHub Universe 2023. Kedasha brings us along on a debugging journey to enable GitHub Pages, fix command paths, and uncover Copilot's invaluable assistance.

After a frustrating experience with Redux, @lnahrf decided to develop their own simplified state manager called VSSM β€” Very Small State Manager. Not only did this tool help them to deploy a project they were working on, but later that year it led to a couple of job offers!

While working on an open-source calculator repo, @jeevaramanathan discovered some odd, seemingly incorrect behavior when calculating decimals. After further investigation, they unveil why this is happening and what to do to solve it.

As part of her handy series on accessibility, @ilizette explores utilizing Google Lighthouse for automated a11y testing, while also delving into manual testing with keyboards and teaching us how to emulate various media states & vision deficiencies using the Chrome browser.

And that's a wrap on our Top 7 picks for this week! Keep on sharing your posts with us for your chance of being featured in the future
