We had to pick two of Development's three staff picks to put in this post, and also had picks from Bug Hunting, Anti-abuse, Blog, and Video-tutorials. It's a great mix of awesome contributions. Click through to all of these to see the kind of contributions we love to see.
Staff Picks
Bug on Hivemind’s following data by @emrebeyler [bug-hunting]
Hivemind is a new layer for the Steem blockchain, that allows data to be easily transmitted and communicated to users in a more efficient way. This technology was also developed to cut the cost of running a full node on the Steem blockchain. The good news is that powerful technology like this is open source and welcomes contributions, which include bug-reports in case of vulnerability. @emrebeyler found a bug with the "following data" on hivemind. The outstanding aspect of this report is the amount of detail and description included in the report. We find detailed reports especially useful, as they allow the project maintainer to quickly understand, reproduce and fix the error. There were other quality contributions made to the category this week, but this one stands out.

1Ramp Update: Contest creation is now open for all + Winner's Leaderboard by @bxute [development]
1Ramp is a Steem interface that showcases the best contents published. It has a very nice interface, with many fancy tools that suit almost every blogger's need. It is interesting to know that the project has both mobile and web version. This is a development update with new features to improve the contest creation section of the 1Ramp project. This contribution has a reasonable amount of development effort with enough information on the post to describe the work done effectively. We appreciate this kind of effort.

Hack WebStorm to Introspect Quasar Framework Components by @quasarframework [development]
Quasarframework is one of the coolest tools out there. It can be used to easily develop a fully responsive front-end application, PWA, SSR apps, and more. This technology is powered by Vue. This is the technology currently used to develop Utopian colony (formerly Utopian V2). This development update made coding with Quasar framework easier and smarter, with an autocomplete feature for Quasar components. We are super excited about this update and we encourage anyone passionate about using Vue to check this out.

Steem Keychain Update - Firefox Version Now Available! by @yabapmatt [blog]
We are always delighted to see updates to major Steem dApps, and Keychain has the potential to be one of the most important ones. The post is clear, well presented, and detailes some truly impressive updates. We particularly appreciate the new Firefox version, as many open source fans prefer Mozilla's browser over Chrome.
Total payout: 88.36 STU
Number of votes: 1418
A Beginners Guide to Dart - Intro to Classes and Objects - Part Three by @tensor [video-tutorials]
Another great video tutorial by @tensor. His instructions in the area of Dart are always thorough and engaging. In this tutorial, he talks about objects and classes. He addresses class constructors, named constructors, getter functions, setter functions and fields. He finds time to address several other concepts as well.

Feels good being on the top again
My tutorial wasn't staff picked, so I am not sure why you are saying it was.
Staff picks can happen also after voting @tensor ;)
That kind of minimizes the reward of being staff picked.
Not only did I not receive the vote boost from being staff picked, I also didn't get a notification that I was staff picked and from this data, its clear that the only reason I was staff picked is because I am the only one contributing to video tutorials.
That doesn't sit right with me frankly but whatever.
Staff picks only happen if the community managers agree on that. There is no rule or convention or any kind of need for us to pick something because the category had no competition, so your assumption here is wrong. The community manager simply liked what you did and wanted to bring it to this list when he was asked if there was anything deserving to be here. Weird to complain when your work is being appreciated honestly.
Not complaining, just merely pointing out that being retroactively staff picked is much less impactful for the article then being staff picked prior to the vote. Staff picking marks the article as a 100% on utopian rocks which in turns drives more potential votes/views. On the other hand, just mentioning it in an article after might drive a few views but not nearly as many.
In my case, its also pretty odd that the article was voted and reviewed the same day that it was retroactively staff picked. Again, just doesn't seem like a good way to apply the reward because a less invested contributor might interpret it as some kind of loop hole in the system. Article gets staff picked but doesn't get the reward etc.
I understand that. Staffpicking after vote is not that often anyway. I will chat with the CM about this
I am aware that the practice isn't often done so it's not a big deal so don't worry about it too much.
It is of course an honor to be staff picked. sorry if it sounded like I wasn't grateful. Just a little surprised and wasn't in the best mood yesterday.
