"What’s the Best Way to Define Sample Data for Testing and Development?"
Hey folks!
So, I’ve been wrestling with how to *define sample data* for my latest project. Like, what’s the sweet spot between realistic and easy-to-manage?
Do you guys just dump random stuff in there, or do you carefully craft it to mimic real-world scenarios? I’ve seen some devs go full-on with fake user profiles, orders, etc., while others just... wing it with lorem ipsum.
Also, how much is *too much* when you define sample data? A few rows? Thousands?
Kinda curious how y’all handle this. Share your messy (or super organized) methods!
P.S. If anyone’s got a slick tool or script to generate this stuff, hook a dev up. 😄
