A comment on Buffer: Bug in Login System.

My only question is why they built their own login system? Isn't this a golden rule: never build your own auth.

No, the golden rule is never build your own crypto. Building your own auth is damn near inevitable unless you are running a fairly simple operation and off the shelf Django or RoR components are good enough.

Actually, it should be never build your own non-open source crypto.

Not really. Almost every site has its own login system.
