This article is fantastic for people that are more new to Firebase and make these common mistakes. I know when I first started using Firebase for side projects (for fun), as just a front-end dev using Firebase, I found the security aspect of Firebase very overwhelming and scary. I ended up having to pull in some dev friends to help me dial them in properly. The Firebase security docs may be way better now but even as little as a year ago, I found them to just gloss over the topic too casually, personally. It did not make me feel super confident in the security rules I had. I really appreciate the author here taking the time to outline some of these and expand their thoughts more! It really helps a ton!
