Note that in the `AuthModule`, we configured the JWT to have an expiration of `60 seconds`. This is too short an expiration, and dealing with the details of token expiration and refresh is beyond the scope of this article. However, we chose that to demonstrate an important quality of JWTs. If you wait 60 seconds after authenticating before attempting a `GET /auth/profile` request, you'll receive a `401 Unauthorized` response. This is because `@nestjs/jwt` automatically checks the JWT for its expiration time, saving you the trouble of doing so in your application.
