SSL secures plain text Basic Auth pretty well. OAuth vs Basic Auth is primarily about giving the service your password and the service abusing it.

That’s a good perspective.

I still prefer “life-long”. Spending that all that time on a career feels wasteful. There are many careers out there that I can get a job and punch in-and-out of. Perhaps even enjoy parts of it. Yet, for me, if I’m going to invest that amount of time into something, it better fulfill something more than a paycheck.

On the other side, I’ll agree that monk-like devotion isn’t healthy either. Thoughts?
