Struggling with API Security? Fix It with JWT Authentication! 🛡️


Hey Reader,

You sit down to build an API, add some authentication, and think, “JWT should do the trick.” But then you wonder:

  • What happens if my JWT gets stolen?
  • How do I keep users logged in without compromising security?

Sound familiar?

In my latest video, I show you how to implement secure JWT authentication with short-lived tokens and refresh tokens in .NET. This setup minimizes risk while keeping the user experience seamless.

No fluff - just practical, real-world guidance for building bulletproof APIs.

But looking back, I’ve realized something: real growth in tech isn’t about frameworks or chasing trends. It’s about staying curious, patient, and keeping your spark alive when everything feels heavy. So I made a new video about it, my 15 biggest lessons from 15 years of coding....

Hey Reader, If you’re a Blazor developer, you know that annoying flash when your app loads data during pre-rendering. It’s been around forever. Sure, you could disable pre-rendering, but then you'd hurt performance and SEO. Well… with .NET 10, we finally have a real fix: the new Persistent State Attribute. 🎉 🎥 Watch my full tutorial about it here: In this video, I walk you through: ✅ What causes the flashing issue ✅ Why disabling pre-rendering isn’t ideal ✅ How the new Persistent State...

Hey Reader, Last week, I tested GPT-5 Agent Mode on .NET and Blazor apps, and the results were surprising. This week, I went a step further. I used GitHub Copilot inside Visual Studio and asked it to create real .NET and Blazor projects for me. Here’s what happened: Copilot generated a working calculator app in C#. It built a Web API that responded with “Hello GPT-5 Agents.” It even created a Blazor app with extra features like a reset button, a plus five counter, and a weather API. Were...
