Top 7 Featured DEV Posts of the Week

We're back with another awesome lineup of top articles pulled from the previous week! In this selection of seven posts, we take a look at Google's new INP metric, offer up a handful of interesting JS tutorials, and gain understanding from one DEV member's take on how not to answer the interview question "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

We've got four first-time Top 7 authors in this lineup and three returning winners! We hope you enjoy digging into this mix. Say congrats to the winners and don't hesitate to let us know what your favorite post from the past week was in the comments below. 🙌



@highflyer910 shares her insights on will change, a way to alert your browser that properties of an element will change in the future. This is a powerful tool meant to be used judiciously, but it can really help ease your browser in managing complex animations and transitions!

@baroblesvi offers an illuminating piece on spread and rest operators so you’ll never forget the difference between them. Unravel the mysteries of these three-dot wonders as they transform arrays, merge objects, and simplify function parameters.

@jmfayard gives us advice for handling the “predicting the future” question gracefully, while also urging interviewers to craft more meaningful questions for each candidate.

The 1.0 release of AnalogJS is summed up nicely by @brandontroberts in this announcement post. Learn all about the fledgling meta-framework built on top of Angular, give congrats to the contributors (or contribute yourself — it’s OSS), and be sure to watch the embedded video so you can see it in action.

Get the skinny on Google’s new INP metric thanks to @whitep4nth3r. It’s important to start optimizing for INP now to avoid potential SEO setbacks.

Follow along as @kecbm teaches us the basics of JS algorithms by walking us through the creation of a simple system for rounding students' grades.

Wanna play around with APIs, NodeJS, and Discord? @arindam_1729 has the perfect tutorial for you! Read on and learn how to build your own fully-functional Discord bot. 🤖

And that's it for this week's picks. Keep on writing and you might just be featured in next week's Top 7! 🤜💥🤛
