Struggling with API Security? Fix It with JWT Authentication! šŸ›”ļø


Hey Reader,

You sit down to build an API, add some authentication, and think, ā€œJWT should do the trick.ā€ 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.

Happy coding!

Take care,

Patrick

Hey friend, A developer I know built his whole career on one bet: that young developers would never want to touch old code. So the legacy systems quietly running real companies would always need someone, and he would be that someone. For twenty years it paid. Then AI arrived and went straight for the part he thought was safe. Because the hardest part of modernizing an old system was never the typing. It was the understanding. Reconstructing thirty projects and three contractors' worth of...

Hey friend, The other day I found a bug in StackBuddy, an app I built. Normally I'd open it, file a ticket for myself, and move on. Instead I turned to my AI and just said, "log a dev ticket for that." And it did. A real ticket in my own bug tracker. Title, description, priority, the whole thing. I never opened the actual app. The thing that makes that possible is called MCP, Model Context Protocol. Ignore the name for a second. Out of the box, an AI can only talk. It writes and explains, but...

Hey friend, I don't really write code by hand anymore. I describe what I want, and the AI builds it. For a while, that scared me. If I am not writing the code, does everything I spent years learning still matter? Does my stack matter at all? If you are a developer right now, I would bet you have felt some version of that too. Here is where I landed. It flipped the whole thing for me. The other day I was debugging a slow app, talking it through with the AI. Would WebAssembly help here? Is it...
