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

   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.
