_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](https://dev.to/shecoded). Learn more about this annual celebration of International Women's Day on DEV and contribute your own story [here](https://dev.to/shecoded). Through March 9 @ 10:59 AM UTC, we'll be donating $20 to [Girls Who Code](https://girlswhocode.com) in partnership with GitHub. Anyone who writes a post will also receive a $20 credit towards the [#SheCoded merch collection on the Forem Shop](https://shop.forem.com/collections/shecoded/)!**
