Ah, here we go again.

Glad I decided to roll my own auth rather then using some library. I had a feeling that eventually they will join Vercel.

Yeah, we rolled our own auth as well. Everybody says you shouldn’t, it’s a risk, etc etc.

but to me that’s less risk than our auth getting bought by somebody whose business goals don’t necessarily align with mine.

The data lives in your server, everything is yours, if that happens, you just fork or write your own. Not sure what writing yourself first buys here.

why not instead fork repo just in case but still use better auth until proven wrong? In case they go evil you just build from you forked one. At that point you would still have to either maintain your own auth or better auth fork.

With current AI your agents probably still will be better with maintaining a fork. Auth libs have pretty limited API surfaces comparing to e.g. ui frameworks.

		I prefer to maintain my code, tailored for my need, than maintaining a massive library that has support for every authentication method there is, while trying to be as generic as possible and fit every business.
