Your API needs to process huge JSON payloads (5–20 MB) from clients. How do you design it so parsing alone doesnt choke your CPU?

@xxthcenturyboy Die Hard Bearer Bonds

@SumitM_X Because fuckin’ Hans Grueber.

Why do we prefix the token with Bearer instead of sending the token directly?

@SidJain_80 👍

@SumitM_X Half right!! GET usually doesn’t trigger preflight But CORS still applies it blocks the response, not the request No preflight != no protection It just means the request goes through, but the browser won’t let the client read the response

Tech Lead says : "GET requests don't trigger preflights, so CORS doesn't protect us here." Is the tech lead right like always?

@krunalbuilds 👍

@SumitM_X Partially right Simple GET requests often skip the preflight (OPTIONS) request. But CORS still applies: the browser can block JavaScript from reading the response if origin rules fail. No preflight ≠ no CORS protection

Real Interview reports from : topmate.io/interviewswith…

As a junior developer, If you struggle to answer even 1 of the below you are not ready for Java interview.. - Can a static block throw exception? - Why is String Immutable in Java? - LinkedList in Java is a doubly or singly linked list?

@krunalbuilds 👍

Usually with: • short-lived access tokens • long-lived refresh tokens Flow: • access token expires • client sends refresh token securely • server issues new access token • user stays logged in silently Best practice: store refresh tokens securely (often HttpOnly cookies)

How do you handle token expiry without asking the user to log in again?

Bearer tells the server what kind of authorization we’re using, not just the token itself Meaning: Whoever bears (possesses) this token is authorized So the server interprets it as a bearer token, no extra proof (like a password or signature) is needed If token is sent directly then server wouldn’t know what type of credential is, how to validate, which auth logic to apply Same header could be with prefix as ApiKey,….

Guys, please understand : GIT PULL ≠ GIT FETCH… GIT MERGE ≠ GIT REBASE… GIT RESET ≠ GIT REVERT… GIT CLONE ≠ GIT INIT… GIT CHECKOUT ≠ GIT SWITCH…

Tech Lead says : "Always create separate endpoint based on user type.. Eg: For clients keep it : /save/order/clients And for internal users keep it: /save/order/internal " Is The Tech Lead right like always...?

Can DB Views be indexed ?

Everyone wants to become a FDE now...

Microsoft reported better-than-expected quarterly results last month, including that LinkedIn had seen a 12% jump in revenue compared with the prior year. And then LinkedIn laid off 900 employees. ..

@SumitM_X Great breakdown Sumit! The separation of UI and JS thread is what makes React Native feel so smooth compared to old hybrid apps Thanks for this

When you open a React Native app (Instagram, Uber, etc.), a few threads start working together behind the scenes. Let's understand these threads : 1. UI Thread (Main thread) Renders native views (text, buttons, images) Handles taps, scrolls, gestures Runs animations If blocked, the app freezes 2. JS Thread Runs JavaScript and React code Handles state updates and business logic Sends UI descriptions to native If slow, UI feels laggy but may still render 3. Native / Background Threads Handle heavy tasks like network calls and database work Used by TurboModules Run independently to keep UI responsive.
