what's the simplest and fastest way to add authentication today?

feels like more startups are avoiding building auth fully in-house now. especially once you need things like:

Google login, Apple login, passwordless, MFA, SSO, role management, etc.

saw that even GoFundMe uses Descope for authentication now which was interesting. Guess at some scale auth stops being a side feature and starts affecting conversion + onboarding speed directly.

curious what developers here are using now: Auth0? Clerk? Firebase? Descope? something else?

i see so many people blowing 5-8 lakhs on italian marble flooring and then putting the, cheapest possible laminates on their kitchen and wardrobes. like bro, nobody is looking at your floor that carefully but everyone notices bad cabinet finishes.

my take: spend smart on surfaces you actually touch and see up close (kitchen, wardrobes, TV unit) and go mid-range on flooring.

the amount people overspend on marble vs underspend on actual living surfaces is insane to me.

so wdyt? am i just ifnding way to spend less lol?
