"home built auth system" is bound to have "random SSO issues". You fix them, that's how things mature.

Yep, it’s just a drag. It’s not our core product value so any effort we put into it is a drag.

  • Rather than just use an email solution Google built GMail into a massive email solution despite it not being a core product

    Sometimes that's just an opportunity

    • > ... not being a core product

      Technically true, because Google's core product is ads. Also fundamentally wrong, because Gmail serves as a massive source of ad targeting information, in addition to being a high-engagement canvas to display those ads.
