1. People believe what you tell them

Elena shares useful and actionable advice for those suffering from imposter syndrome. But really, a good reminder for all developers!

2. A last resort: getters & setters

Why getters & setters can be harmful and dangerous and advice on when they might make sense.

3. Faceoff: MongoDB vs. MySQL

Jignesh compares the schema, querying language, relationships, performance/speed, and security of two dominant databases.

4. The Device, The Filter and The Stream

The architecture and performance benchmarks for Nexus.js, a multi-threaded server-side JavaScript run-time based on WebKit/JavaScriptCore.

5. Is this JavaScript or Python?

A side by side comparison of JavaScript and Python -- multi-line strings, expression interpolations, arrow functions, and more.

6. AMA w/ Scott Hanselman!

The community asked Scott Hanselman questions and advice around life, career, and of course, open source.

7. Flashtext > Regex (sometimes)

Vikash couldn't wait five days for regex to run so he created a tool called flashtext.

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 Monday!
