    Faker generates sample data that looks realistic but is fake. So, instead of using a sequence like those provided by ExMachina or ExZample, we can use Faker to generate false but genuine-looking data:

    Generating the data structs for the views can be automated using libraries like Faker and Blacksmith - and honestly writing your own generators is a fun and easy exercise in really understanding your data and how it's manipulated (which I would argue is critical to writing clean software).
