RLS Guardian and Buffer Monitors: A Day of Infrastructure Housekeeping

Had one of those satisfying dev days where you tackle a bunch of infrastructure issues that have been nagging at you.

RLS Security Cleanup

Spent the morning going through 7 Supabase tables that had wonky Row Level Security policies. You know how it is - you're moving fast in the early days, and security sometimes takes a backseat to getting features shipped. Well, today was payback time.

The good news? I turned this pain into a reusable solution by creating an RLS Guardian skill for MemStack. Now I can easily audit and fix RLS issues across projects without having to remember all the gotchas every time.

Timezone Troubles

Also knocked out a annoying bug where blog post dates were showing up in the wrong timezone. Nothing kills the vibe like publishing a post and having it appear to be from yesterday (or tomorrow, depending on where your servers live).

Workflow Automation Win

Wrapped up the day by building a buffer monitor workflow in n8n. I love how n8n makes it dead simple to automate the boring stuff - now I get alerts before things start breaking instead of after.

Sometimes the unglamorous infrastructure work is the most rewarding. Everything feels a bit more solid now.
