What's up devs! ๐๐ป How are you doing?
Last week I did a post highlighting underrated blogs that I thought could use more attention. I enjoyed that, so I thought I'd do it again this week! ๐
Let's take a look at this week's picks! ๐ง
Disclaimer ๐จ: I'm doing this out of my personal motivation. None of these great authors/bloggers asked me for any promo. I still think they deserve a shout out, so here it goes. Oh, and the order I listed the posts in is totally random, by the way.
Pick #1๏ธโฃ
Here's a friendly yet much needed reminder from @malteriechmann
: Learn the basics! I highly recommend all code newbies to take a look at this one. It's a short blog, yet oh-so powerful! ๐ฏ


But first, learn the basics

@kaspermroz
did an awesome job documenting his learnings on this Einstellung effect! Einstel-whut?! Yeah, das ist ein deutsches wort! (I'm not fluent in German whatsoever...yet ๐). Take a look at it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! ๐ Tell Kasper I said "Hi"!

Guess what? I've found another blog covering TDD this week! ๐ฑ Yep, that's right! This time @theowlsden
gives us a pretty neat non-technical intro to the subject. Go read it, what are you waiting for? ๐

@lukaszreszke
begs us to please stop talking SQL. Huh? If you, like me, are wondering what he means, go take a look for yourself! Ah, and be mindful of your soft (i.e non-technical) skills! ๐

Let's stop talking SQL

And last, but certainly not least: @smeetsmeister
dropped 4 (yes, FOUR!) lessons learned as a starting Scrum Master. This blog right here is a pot of gold on its own! โจ

@malteriechmann , @kaspermroz , @theowlsden , @lukaszreszke , @smeetsmeister , just thought I'd highlight your work a little! Hope you don't mind! ๐
Thanks for the highlight! I hope people find something interesting in each of these posts!๐ช
You're most welcome! ๐
I hope so too! They are quite the good reads ๐ง
Indeed, I saved some to get back at.
Thanks, Amelia! This was actually super useful, I only pop on dev.to every few days so it's nice to see some cool articles that I missed. If you keep writing summaries like this, I'll keep checking them out!
So happy to hear this! ๐ I enjoy putting these together, so I might as well keep at it!
Thanks so much for dropping by ๐
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the post and the kind words!
hehe, you're most welcome! Just thought I'd give back to the community in some way! ๐
Thank you for choosing my first post as one worth mentioning! I'd never expect that, just wow ๐
Expect the unexpected, @kaspermroz ! ๐
Another great article selection! ๐ Good job to all the authors!
Wow. Thanks for mention my blog post.
Thanks to you for sharing it with us! ๐ And you're most welcome!
This is a great idea! Sometimes it's hard to sift through all the content out there. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked the idea @margo_hdb ! ๐ Thanks for dropping by! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Love this idea! It's nice to see writers taking time to curate a list of the best writing they've seen. Sure saves the rest of us some time and exposes us to voices me might not otherwise have heard!
Hehe, glad you liked it! ๐
Oh yes, that's the point! ๐๐ป Thank you so much for dropping by! ๐
