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.

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...

Hey Reader, I just published a new video where I put GPT-5’s Agent Mode to the test. 🚀 Instead of asking it for something simple, I went all in: A .NET 9 console app calculator A Web API with endpoints and docs A Blazor Server app with extra counter buttons And even a Blazor app that calls a public weather API 🎥 Watch it now: In the video, I didn’t just type “make me an app” and hope for the best. I gave GPT-5 very specific prompts, like: “Please create a .NET 9 console application that works...

Hey Reader, I’m back! 🎉 I’ve been on parental leave for the past 2 months, enjoying time with the family. Now I’m diving back into videos and here’s the first one! 🎥 Watch it now: Here’s the TL;DR if you can’t click right now: AI can already write code, fix bugs, and explain complex concepts. So… are we doomed? No. AI isn’t replacing developers anytime soon. But: Developers who use AI will replace those who don’t. The best devs are using GPT to: Skip repetitive work Prototype faster Learn...
