The 7 Most Popular DEV Posts from the Past Week

Every Monday 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. ❤️

1. Ways To Improve

Ryland shares a few methods to consider while developing in JS, such as using modern features, assuming your system is distributed, linting your code, and more!

2. On The Regular

While you'll probably want to know a few more commands, these are the ten docker-compose and docker commands that Lina uses regularly.

3. Love A Good Loop

For folks who already know the basic principles of programming, Luke explains why Codewars challenges is such a good way to learn new languages.

4. Blurry Lines

There are no real definitions for developer 'levels' but if you're able to implement/understand these four projects/concepts, you're bound to level up.

5. DONE.

Before ~abandoning~ finishing a project, Klaudia runs through a checklist (from accessibility to security) to make sure it's complete.

6. Air Five!

Charlie did some hacking on their Freedum drum kit which resulted in a cool visualization project involving JS, bluetooth, and hardware.

7. Baseline Familiarity

Ben explains the basics of GNU Make via two small examples - downloading a file and building some C++.

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!
