Reset Yourself Free (The Joy of Destroying your DB Daily)
summary
Project uses Rails monolith with 300 models and 72 contributors and the concrete claim is: run rake db:reset to drop load schema and run seeds, producing an instant consistent local environment. Implementation uses a seeder class that Rails’ seed loader can be pointed at, plus data generators like ffaker and pragmatic handling of external services via a dummy Stripe Connect account. Outcome: quicker on‑boarding, fewer Slack setup calls, resilience and shared test fixtures.
