So, I'm writing a JWT auth package for Laravel, and I've decided to first build a JWT generator package for Laravel.
This is 1-2 hours work, and it's a POC which should work for any JWT generation in Laravel.

This man has never written Go. We must protect him. We have it in our power to keep at least one pure programmer!
I've never written rust. 🦀
... nor go (which I'd very much like to try), nor a native phone app.
and I'm sure that only scratches the surface of things I don't know! I try to be okay with that.
plus, it means there's always more fun stuff to learn or explore.

There is one particular piece of English grammar that I categorically despise. It's that I have to write "an HTTP" in formal writing, even though it makes it harder for me to read.

I decided that it can’t hurt to give it a go.
The pattern is called “request-derived context”, and I’m almost finished with a somewhat formal definition.

I've “created” an architectural design pattern, that represents a widely known and understood concern.
I'd like to publish it, but I'm struggling to find a way to do it, that doesn't make me feel like a presumptuous asshole. Who am I to claim that I have created a “concept”?
