3. What problem does a JWT expiry time solve?

2. For any postgreSQL transaction it begins with a BEGIN and ends with a COMMIT.
3. Sequence tables are single-row tables created through the command line. Sequence objects are most often used for creation of unique identifiers.
4. RESTART IDENTITY CASCADE - when used with truncate resets teh sequences assoicated with the columns and adding cascade makes sure all the sequences of all affected tables are reset.

Getting referrals is the best way to make sure human eyes will actually take a look at your resume.
You wouldn't want to get screened out by a computer and a referral will normally get you a superday interview.
I am going to reachout to my friends at tech companies to ask for referrals. They all get referal bonuses
if I get hired so they have incentives to help me get hired :).

To get read for my interviews I got the two books cracking the coding interview and the algorithm
design manual. I am also doing problems on leetcode to practice for the superdays. I already talked
to my mentor and he said once I think I am ready we can start having practice interviews.

The networking event I went to was really interesting and there were speakers from the three following companies: Qri, caper and runway.
All these companies went over their individual products and gave they gave the audience the chance to ask questions to learn about
the machine learning processes these companies use. 

I reached out to three people at companies that I am very interested. I am trying to connect with them on linkedin and I put their 
linkedin info in the googlsheet attached.

Client is like a waiter and the server is like the chef. The chef creates the food that the waiter can then take to the end user/customer.
