e41 - Generate fake data with a Django management command
Channel: Brylie
Date: 28/12/2023

In this video, I'm coding a prototype for generating fake data in a Django project. I start by setting up a management command for easy data creation and reset via the command line.

Initially, the prototype had issues with the balance between residencies and residents, which I address by adjusting the data generation process after a few tries.

I thought about adding a progress bar for the data generation but decided to keep things simpler for now, without extra dependencies like tqdm.

The final result is a basic but functional set of fake data for homes, residents, and activities, useful for demonstrating the application.

This prototype is a simple example of creating fake data directly through coding, and there's still more to learn and improve upon. Check out how I approached and solved these challenges in this session.
