If you peek at that third party OAuth library, you will discover… it's complex. This is what I mean about pushing the complexity around on your plate. You can make it someone else's problem (and become dependent on them), but the complexity is still there. There is a minimum level of complexity that any OAuth system needs to have in order to function. QED
- hbrn 4y agoOAuth library is a perfect example of lousy engineers inventing complexity. Here's a talk where Jack Diederich mentions it: https://youtu.be/o9pEzgHorH0?t=870 https://youtu.be/o9pEzgHorH0?t=870 It is indeed complex: 200+ classes. Plenty of unit tests and mocks. And then there's his implementation: - 0% unit test coverage. - Lightweight at less than 200 lines, including blanks and docstrings. QED.
