It's a JWT and it's pronounced jot

We're talking security, so here is a wall

If there is one thing I like about computing, it is the arguments: framework X vs Y, language A vs B, Mac vs Linux vs Win$, Arch Linux vs the world, sysadmin vs the rest of the team.

The problem with arguments is that they can generate noise and hide the useful information. That is exactly what I ran into while implementing JWT on an internal project at Coddity, and on one specific case: user session management.

How do you do, fellow kids?

A Flask API in a GitLab CI/CD crust, accompanied by its deployment on Heroku. Or how to find yourself, at 40, not having written any code since Python 1.5, up against a production-deploy problem for a demo, at an Ethereum hackathon full of German and Russian devs in hoodies.

1. A messy hackathon

It all starts with the EthParis 2019 hackathon. Of course, when someone tugs at my feelings and says “No, come on, it’ll be cool, we’ll learn a ton of stuff, doesn’t matter if your dev level is nonexistent, there’ll always be something for you to do, and besides, you’re hitting 40, you have to do this before then.” Yeah, right. Building a small API, quick and dirty, locally, no problem. Learning GitLab CI/CD and Heroku deploys in 2 hours, surrounded by German hackers, is not quite the same thing.
