Your JWT tokens contain user role in payload: `{"user_id": 123, "role": "user"}`. A hacker changes it to `"role": "admin"` in the token and gains admin access.

How is this possible and how do you prevent it?

@livingdevops Terraform

[Akhilesh Mishra @livingdevops]

Terraform is the one skill that separates DevOps engineers who click through consoles from those who deploy infrastructure in seconds.

I've had written a comprehensive "Terraform Handbook for DevOps Engineers" ebook that thousands of people loved

and I'm giving it away for free.

To get it for free, just do 3 things.
✓ Follow me (for DM access)
✓ Retweet this post
✓ Comment "Terraform"

And I will personally send you that.

P.S. If i missed sending you due to some issues, just DM me and I will share

[Aditya @_adityaa21]

Everyone says “Just learn basics and you’ll get a job.”
Basics, right? 😶

So I started with HTML.
Then someone said, “HTML alone is useless.”
Okay, added CSS.
Then, “CSS without animations is outdated.”
Added Flexbox, Grid, transitions, transforms.
Then, “Bro Tailwind is industry standard now.”

No worries.
Learned JavaScript.

But wait…
“Only JS? You need ES6+.”
Then closures.
Then hoisting.
Then event loop.
Then async/await.
Then promises.
Then memory leaks.
Then browser internals.

Now recruiter says:

> “Good, but where is React?”

So I learned React.
But not just React.
Optimized React.
Hooks.
Custom hooks.
Context API.
Redux.
Redux Toolkit.
Zustand.
Recoil.
Performance optimization.
Virtual DOM.

Then came:

> “Do you know Next.js?”

Okay.
SSR, CSR, SSG, ISR.
Routing, layouts, middleware.
SEO optimization.
Image optimization.

Then interviewer smiled and asked:

> “Backend aata hai?”

Sure 🙂
Node.js.
Express.js.
REST APIs.
MVC architecture.
JWT.
OAuth.
Auth0.
Rate limiting.
Security.

Then database:
MongoDB.
Mongoose.
Indexes.
Aggregation.
Transactions.

Then suddenly:

> “SQL bhi aata hai?”

Yes sir 🫡
Joins.
Subqueries.
Indexes.
Normalization.

Then DevOps entered the chat:
Docker.
CI/CD.
AWS.
EC2.
S3.
Nginx.
Linux.

Still not enough.

Now they want:
DSA.
LeetCode.
Codeforces.
System Design.
Low-level + High-level.

And finally HR says:

> “You are technically strong, but we’re looking for someone with 1–2 years experience.”

- Fresher with experience.
- Entry-level role, senior-level expectations.
- Low salary, high passion required.

But yeah…
“Skill issue hoga.”
“Market kharab nahi hai.”
“Bas consistency chahiye.”

Sure 👍
Let me just add 10 more skills to my resume and try again tomorrow.
