Dreams of Code

Deciding between building or buying an authentication solution, a developer opted to create their own for a custom course platform. Despite good security practices, the time spent handling user flows, password recovery, and account management became overwhelming. Eventually, using the third-party service 'Clark' made the project more manageable, leading to significant time savings and allowing a focus on the core product. Future plans include exploring more flexible authentication options once the course is complete.

Rolling my own auth ended up being a mistake...

Let me guess, this is an Auth0 ad

Of course. If you spend money, it will save you so much time. Just don’t forget to always ask permission of the creator if you wanna customize it a little, pay always on time, pay for this app feature, than for this one abd don’t forget, your current plan allows you to use only up to 50.000 requests per month, after that, there will be overcharges. Why do you need to waste your time building something when you can always to someone who already built it? You just have to have a lot of money, it’s so simple.
But seriously, I hate paid feautures because they end up causing more problems than benefit.
