We are joined once again by Dan Moore, who we first met because of his awesome blog, Letters to a New Developer. What I wish I had known when starting my development career. We did that episode with you, Dan, about a year ago now. That one's called Dear New Developer. And now you're back. Welcome back, man.

Dan laughed, so you must know what he's referring to. N-A-C? I don't. I just love that one. I don't know what's going on. That was a pity laugh, Adam. You've missed us both with this. Not another character? I don't know. What's N-A-C?

I mispronounce things all the time. Not going there. Heck, on our last news episode, I said it was 2024. So, I'm not afraid to embarrass myself publicly.

This is the problem with templates. You build yourself a template, and then you use a template, and the template probably supports string interpolation or some sort of logic where you could have the current year, but I don't got time for that. So I just had it say 2024, and I reused my template and forgot to change one thing. Well, we're back in time. It rolled off the tongue, too.

You're like, yes, this sounds familiar. Oh, yeah, 2024. Yeah. Anyways, Dan, you are here to talk auth, so not letters to new developers, but maybe letters for all developers out there. We have a fun conversation teed up, and you have some expertise in this area, right? Maybe tell everybody what you do on a day-to-day, what you're up to.

I know authentication, authorization, I don't know what's all involved there, but give us a little bit of your context.
