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.

In this week’s tutorial, I’ll walk you through how validation works now in .NET 10 (using Entity Framework, Scalar, and Minimal APIs). Before, writing validation logic in each endpoint was a pain. You had to manually check for null values, invalid quantities, or missing fields. But in .NET 10, that’s all built-in and super clean. Watch the full tutorial now: 👇 Happy coding! Take care, Patrick

Hey Reader, If you’ve been coding for a while, you’ve probably asked yourself this too: “Am I getting better… or just older?” I’ve been writing software for fifteen years now, and that question still sneaks up on me. 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....
