Oh wow, what an awesome surprise! Thank you so much for including my post this week! It really means a lot, especially knowing how many great articles are shared here every day. I really am grateful to be a part of this amazing community of developers who are always sharing, learning, and encouraging each other. ❤️
And big congrats to everyone else featured as well!

Genuinely made my week to see my piece in here — thank you to the DEV team. 🙏
What strikes me is how much this week's list circles the same quiet question from different angles: what does building with AI actually do to us? Jessica's "What I Actually Learn When I Build With AI" and Debashish's "The Bug Lives at the Seam, Not in the Logic" land right next to my own argument — the hard part was never generating the code, it's keeping the understanding. A passing unit test and a bug at the seam are the same lesson twice.
And Louis-François measuring 9,050 scripts against his own voice is the empirical version of what the rest of us were only arguing qualitatively. Great company to be listed in.
Off to read the ones I missed. Congrats to everyone on the list. 👏
