New rule: if it's quicker and easier for me to write the #OAuth handling myself instead of using your dedicated OAuth library, the problem may well be with your library or its documentation.

@OpinionatedGeek OAuth is frequently made to be so much more complex than it needs to be. It’s just like a person coming to your door

1) who are you?
2) prove it.
3) fine what do you want?

@markmcgookin Yup. And I just wanted something to 'answer the door'. Had to get up and do it myself. Pah! I honestly took far longer reading the documentation trying to understand the library than it took to just write my own version.

@OpinionatedGeek yea been there myself with a few things. The most recent was a payment provider who’s SDK wasn’t threadsafe and I just grabbed a really old version that was floating around as source and wrote my own. Literally worked better than theirs
