Ask HN: Should you roll your own auth?
Hi folks,
I know this question has been asked many times, but I see a lot of conflicting opinions, across the internet. I'm in no means a professional developer (i'm just a high school student).
I'm asking specifically for Ruby on Rails, but feel free to leave your general opinion as well.
Cheers!

But if you are trying to build a commercial grade product, then your best bet is to use a 3rd party library or commercial service that has been tested and it's stable and reviewed for security.
