Every Tuesday 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.
This week's Top 7 is an extra-special edition in honor of #SheCoded. Learn more about this annual celebration of International Women's Day on DEV and contribute your own story here. Through March 9 @ 10:59 AM UTC, we'll be donating $20 to Girls Who Code in partnership with GitHub. Anyone who writes a post will also receive a $20 credit towards the #SheCoded merch collection on the Forem Shop!
Success takes many forms
"It's so easy to feel unworthy and incompetent when having to constantly prove yourself and one way I have been able to fight my impostor syndrome is by keeping a list of my achievements." - @whatminjacodes
Congrats on these motivating and impressive achievements, Minja!
