Underrated Articles on Dev.to Last Week

Hey, I'm back with another installment of underrated DEV posts of last week! I had such a packed week I almost skipped this week's post, but in the end decided not to. Only 5 posts this time, however.

Let's check out my favorite underrated posts of last week now.
