Just sent my first-ever PR to the Laravel framework

added except() method to JsonResource class so you can easily exclude fields like:

(new UserResource($user))->except(['email', 'profile.ssn']);

Taylor Otwell reviewed it (yeah, that Taylor 👀) and said they’ll consider it for Laravel 13.

Didn’t get merged, but still feels awesome seeing my name in a Laravel PR thread 😎

Here's the link - https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/57426

Ever wondered why we hash JWTs with a secret key if anyone can decode them anyway?

A JWT has three parts:
header.payload.signature

The header and payload are just Base64URL-encoded, not encrypted so yes, anyone can decode and read them. That’s intentional.

When a server receives a JWT, it recomputes the signature using its secret key and compares it to the token’s signature.
If someone changed even one letter in the payload like switching

"role":"user"

to

"role":"admin"

the signatures wouldn’t match and the token would be rejected. so hashing a JWT with a key isn’t about secrecy it’s about authenticity.
It proves the data is real, untampered, and issued by someone who holds the secret.

damn😭

Distributed Locks in microservices

lets say multiple microservices share one cache, things can get messy fast two services might try to refresh the same token or update the same record.

A distributed lock makes sure only one process touches a shared resource at a time.

Laravel example

$lock = Cache::lock('cache-key', 10); // 10 seconds

if ($lock->get()) {
    try {
        // ✅ Only one process gets here
        $this->refreshToken();
    } finally {
        $lock->release();
    }
} else {
    // 🚫 Another process is refreshing already
}

That’s it.
You can safely run multiple workers or services only one will hold the lock at a time.

Today I dialed *804# to check my balance… ⏳

Then Ethio Telecom sent me a never-ending SMS 😩

Is that only me, or is anyone else frustrated by these giant messages too?

Back with another open-source contribution 😎

I wanted to use the Laravel Audit Logger package for a project, Turns out, it didn’t support PostgreSQL which I needed for the setup.

I decided to build and add a Postgres driver myself.

and guess what the PR got merged .

Not bad for my first open-source merged PR 😅
