No. My point isn’t about using devise (I’m almost certain that’s what ChaGPT recommended). My point is that if you actually attempt to do both (code a simple app using ROR vs. another framework), you’ll find ROR just works 95% of the time. You might not like Ruby, or the syntax, or how a lot of what’s actually happening isn’t obvious. But to people who need to standup and build an MVP in a weekend there’s nothing that allows you to do it as fast.

Django provides built in auth that is pretty great and extensible. OAuth/SAML and canned or customized registration flows are just a matter of adding the django-allauth module.

It isn't batteries included sign up. You have to select a 3rd party lib for that (a gem).

Yeah that was first thing that struck me about Rails, I had kept hearing "batteries included", then DHH suggests rolling your own auth? Always seemed a strange gap.
