This is an interesting framing of the context problem — I especially agree that a lot of failures in software projects come from unclear requirements rather than execution. Even in simple tools like [IPPT Caculator] https://sgipptcalculator.com/ if the problem isn’t defined properly, you end up rebuilding things multiple times. That’s why I try to keep my own projects very focused and minimal from the start.
Good explanation. A real challenge appears in production environments when access tokens expire during long-running sessions, especially in microservice architectures. For example, in Kubernetes-based applications behind API gateways, improper refresh token handling can lead to repeated authentication failures, spike traffic on auth services, and even cause cascading failures during peak load. That’s why token rotation, secure storage, and proper retry mechanisms are just as important as the JWT implementation itself.
I started with HTML and CSS but honestly I felt like an idiot trying to figure out JS. I spent way too much time just staring at the screen. What was the first thing you actually tried to learn? Did y
