The love OAuth gets from the developer community

So I've been trying to fix this OAuth related bug for a few days now and I'm finally getting done with it. I read this article called OAuth has ruined everything by Burke Holland and then OAuth 2.0 and the road the hell by Eran Hammer (this guy was originally on the OAuth 2.0 working group) and I'm glad I'm not the only one who's not that fond of OAuth. BTW if you haven't read those articles, you probably should. At least the second one.

In the first article, the author talks about the love OAuth has been getting from the developer community on twitter, and I thought I'll share some of that love here.

So here we go.

Current status: Having a OAuth hate party, because it sucks.

This is your weekly “OAuth sucks, why are we still using OAuth” tweet. You may now continue to go about your business.

OAuth always sucks the coding juice right out of my desiccated corpse.

#oauth sucks sooooo bad. @facebook, @google thank you for making this a nightmare, not a standard.

Everybody complains how much working with OAuth client side sucks. Try implementing it server side.

If you're having a tough time with OAuth too, it's alright. You're not the only one :D
