Anonymizing User, Company, and Location Data Using Faker
Often during development it is useful to have realistic data to get a sense of how an app would behave in the wild
A post I wrote in 2012 on a company blog about generating fake data in Ruby on Rails applications.
NOTE: This post includes a code example which uses a binary concept of gender. I can't edit it, given it's on an external site, but I would, given my current knowledge.
