Am I missing the obvious, why would one seed a dev database from production? If anything, data on dev should exist before production?

- adamckay 4y agoOnce you have data in production it's very possible for the fake data you generate in dev not really matching the sort of data you have in production (either in size or because of assumptions made whilst generating it or even bad app updates/schema migrations in the past causing duff data). It can then be useful for future development or debugging that the data is real(-ish).
