Custom built auth isn't as scary as you make it to be. I have done it myself and would do it in the future. You just have to be cognizant of what you're doing (i.e. simply copying Hartl's or Railscasts' tutorial won&#x27

How about "I was struggling for days with Django which lead to a minor burn-out and as a result I lost several weeks of my time"? That's when I decided to pick up Rails tutorial and it was probably one of the best tech-relate

ça dépend. I am only familiar with Django and Rails, can't comment about Laravel. If you are building a basic CRUD app, definitely stick with Rails. If you are doing some kind of CMS or need machine learning pipeline, go with Python. A

I have scripts, snippets, CSS skeletons, checklists that I try to reuse between projects, but that's about it. I have tried to build one for myself, but it just doesn't worth the effort, unless you are launching a large number of
