faker VS PaperClip

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).

The factory library ExMachina created by Thoughbot uses function names and generates an atom used to call factories. For example:

Take a look at https://thoughtbot.com/ for a dark themed site. The site has both a light and dark theme which is triggered by your system setting (on macos: System Preferences > General > Appearance)

I work at thoughtbot, you might know us for our open source work like administrate, factory_bot or shoulda-matchers.

FWIW, Boston is where Thoughtbot is headquartered; their apprenticeship program might not be exactly what you're looking for, but they also have a lot of useful introductory resources.

Hello,

After working at [thoughtbot](https://thoughtbot.com/) for five years I just finished building my own blockchain. Moonshine Exchange has realtime transaction settlement and pulled in >$100K in liquidity organically without any outside funding. I'm looking for my next gig, not necessarily in the blockchain space. Rust and Elixir preferred but open to any technology!

You could even be crazy and ask https://thoughtbot.com/ for a job and say you're willing to intern. If you get thoughtbot in your cv you're good for life.

Any suggestions of a good place to host such a blog? We all love thoughtbot.com, but unless they want to hire me unfortunately I'm not going to be able to post there ; ). I've considered a few platforms, but most feel incomplete for what I'm looking for.
