@levelsio I love the windows 3.11 virtual PC that you've created. Being able to message others in the AOL chat room was interesting.

I also found the VC email by accident while messing with the PC. I'll keep it a secret 😆

@discord how about a configurable matchmaking system for game communities.

I just saw someone (no shade to them) selling a LinkedIn course for a couple hundred bucks.

If y'all don't take your behind to go watch the LinkedIn series!

IT'S FREE! Always has been, always will be

No other resource comes close to the number of people that have landed jobs!

There is one video that exists that helps keep me grounded. If I ever need a very real dose of reality, it will slap you so hard that all you can do afterwards is sit, think and truly appreciate what you have.

An Interview question every developer should know.

What's the difference between Tokens and API keys?

We use API keys and tokens for authentication and authorization.

But they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics.

Tokens (like JWT - JSON Web Tokens):

Carries user context and permissions for authentication and authorization.

Encoded with a user ID, permissions, and expiration time, often in JWT format.

Critical for user-specific access, like accessing a user's profile data in an e-commerce platform.

It is issued by an authentication server after user login and contains user-specific information.

API Key:

Primarily for identifying the application or the consumer making the API call.

They are long strings we pass in the header or as a query parameter in the API request.

You use API keys when access does not involve user context. For example, accessing a public API or service-to-service communication.

They are long-lived and created through the API provider's platform or admin console.

In simple terms:

- Tokens are for managing user sessions, permissions, and context.

- API keys are for identifying applications.

Which one have you used the most?
