Welcome to our curated selection of standout articles from the DEV Community. This week we have a blend of personal narratives and technical insights: empowering stories of women in tech, the transformative potential of local LLMs, candid reflections on learning Rust, and more. Plus, we feature a couple of crossover selections from our we_coded campaign celebrating diversity in tech, and we're excited to introduce four new voices to the Top 7 this week! Don't miss out — let's get to reading!


We’re bending our “no listicles in the Top 7 rule” because this article by @amandamartindev is an incredibly pertinent list of women developers to keep up with and we think everyone should take a look!

Invaluable guidance for thriving in the remote work landscape!


@theoriginalbpc recounts the relatable experience that many devs face: pushing too hard and experiencing burnout.

Don't miss the last installment in this six-part series! #wecoded


Witness the transformation of generative AI technology from a realm of proprietary models to an open-source landscape, spearheaded by groundbreaking projects like Ollama.
