I took a brief break from my backend API series on YouTube, BUT I'M BACK BABY!! Today we're discussing authentication and authorization to better understand the difference between JWTs and API keys. Here's the new content:
API and User Auth (API keys vs JWTs)

I tried repurposing this video as short form. Check it out and let me know if it's followable! Do you find these bite-size tips helpful?
Building a SaaS
All of the core material for my AI Mastery course is complete and live, I am now working on one of the bonus topics: building a SaaS with the help of AI, documenting the exact steps I take to build the software from scratch. I've been exploring Google Antigravity which just came out ~3 weeks ago as well as various other processes and agentic tools.
At first I wanted to rush a micro-SaaS, give my self a challenge... Like build an app I can sell in less than a week. However, the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to build something useful and substantial enough that I felt proud of the completed work. Something I could end up selling or keeping for myself.
Even with AI being utilized, I'm building something where I am going to be heavily involved in the details, using AI to fill in gaps, make things faster, and actually improve software quality.
I'm very excited to go through this AI-Augmented software engineering journey and share with you what issues I encounter as I build out my software.
For anyone in the 4-week AI mentorship I will share all the details with you in our live calls in January. Augmented development will be the primary focus...How we can utilize AI to build faster and better.
Stay tuned!
