Welcome to this week's Top 7, where the DEV editorial team handpicks their favorite posts from the previous week.
Congrats to all the authors that made it onto the list 👏
@scastiel shares their experiment coding with local AI models during a 7-hour flight, downloading 13GB of AI models to test offline development with gpt-oss.
@nfrankel explores using Gang of Four creational patterns for improving maintainability and ensuring objects are fully initialized.
@ingosteinke revisits React after years of skepticism, discovering that React 19 has evolved past many of the pain points that originally drove them away, including deprecated lifecycle methods and awkward patterns.
@fonyuygita breaks down the transformer architecture from basic neural networks to attention mechanisms, explaining how transformers revolutionized AI by allowing every word to simultaneously "attend" to every other word in a sequence.
@pungy introduces Fluid, a new reactive JavaScript library that prioritizes explicit control and predictability over the "magical" convenience of libraries like MobX or Vue's reactivity system. They demonstrate how Fluid gives developers precise control over execution order through priority systems, transactions for atomic state changes, and dynamic dependencies, trading implicit behavior for transparent and debuggable reactive systems.
@ahrjarrett launches @traversable/zod, a TypeScript library that transforms Zod schemas into various utilities like type guards, deep clone functions, and TypeScript type definitions.
@raheelshan introduces a custom Laravel Blade system that enforces type safety through @var declarations in templates, automatically validating that passed data matches the expected types at runtime.

You are welcome
Congrats everyone!
Aw ❤️ thanks for reading/sharing my article!
I was in the middle of a divorce process, I knew my partner was cheating but needed evidence so I did a little research and found the contact of this amazing professional Vadim who helped me gain access to all messages, pictures and videos from my partner's phone without physical access to it. I honestly saw things that broke me but I am glad I found out instead of living in lies and deceit. If your partner is acting suspicious, get in touch with Vadim on VADIMWEBHACK@ GMA1L.C0M
He has been of great help since I found his contact. He helped a friend of mine get rid of some records and also helped raise his credit score as high as 750 from low 400s.
This is really interesting to read. thanks folks🖤
Well done everyone.
@fonyuygita his post was introduced last week in the same thread, and it is featured again. Nice work!
