To be fair to Claude on the Clerk thing, I had my agent build session management and auth from scratch, then beefed it up with all the best practice advice, and and and.

It took me an extra day of agent-prodding and code review.

And I still will have to add SSO and Google/whoever sign-in and passkeys and 2FA at some point.

Using Clerk would've avoided that, but at a permanent cost of one more dependency.
