I am often a victim of my own success at $dayjob. I have rebuilt and expand our auth capabilities considerably in the past two years.
A lot of my interrupt work arises because of this work, people asking for help using what I've built or requesting new features. I actually want this because the mess I've been cleaning was created by my predecessors not being responsive to the needs of other developers.
I've leaned into standards which has decreased over time the effort I spend adding features.

Everything I've built has related to some part of OAuth2 or common extensions to it, like OIDC. I like these specs, been reading and using them for years, because I find the resulting code I write is more composable. Hence the reduction in effort as our OAuth2 capabilities have expanded. I received my first interrupt that won't require new code at all, at least to start. Another team is building a capability on another platform, on a custom sub-domain, so needs auth that will work for that.
