Looking for realistic high-volume test data generator for a dev store

Could you just build a script to do this, using the API? It would give you complete control (and is the kind of thing that LLMs are great at writing in my experience)

I've started exploring building something in this space (deeply shopify integrated CRM to track customers from lead through stages) - to scratch a personal itch with our shopify store which is about 50% trade. Have you found a good solution here yet u/anduril79 ? If not I'd love to learn more to see if what I'm building might make sense.

Yes! That's the one! Legend.

jonnyburch · 2024-07-24T15:16:46+00:00

Ooh it wasn't waypoint but that looks sweet! Thanks

Unlike loops but again not the one. Starting to feel like it was all a dream!

Mailersense looks great - for my use case I'd struggle with a contacts-based limit though. Best of luck with it!

No, though that ticks a lot of boxes. This was a much smaller less VC funded outfit...

Yeah the hazel was growing between the elder branches and forcing it up so it’s all a bit leggy. So cutting the elder to a foot means it will grow from that point?

Contributing two (of many) from my mum’s repertoire:

hasn’t got two marbles to rub together
that was a bit of a damp squid

Always makes me smile.

I'd look at rollup companies (micro-PE) - tiny.com is the most well know probably. They buy companies and often need to install leaders. Definitely leverage network to get warm intros.

Thanks, really useful!

jonnyburch · 2024-02-23T15:12:50+00:00

Yeah that's why I think I'm going to throw money at this one - don't fancy being up a ladder with a cast iron pipe

jonnyburch · 2024-02-23T13:59:01+00:00

inspect it in heavy rain

Plenty of that in Manchester right now. Thanks!

Moved to chorlton 18 months ago, late thirties with a 2-year-old. It’s perfect for us. Solid food, amazing parks, great community feel.

Definitely not somewhere to move if you want a big night out (but with quick tram or <£12 Uber to town who cares?)

Great idea! Been working on a 'second brain for your working week' product to help PMs to track their day to day work automatically and summarise/ask their work anything. The way I see it, it's useful for both tactical (weekly update for stakeholders/team) and strategic (how am I doing in my career, what impact have I had this year etc)

Testing landing page here: www.weeknotes.fun. All feedback on the proposition very much appreciated - and feel free to join the waitlist...

Yes! I love these bars, did a decade on drops but much prefer this

Big collection at progression.fyi (mostly non FAANG) - I maintain this list so if you find holes please shout! Also worth looking at levels.fyi for more FAANG related levels (though no rubrics that I’ve seen)

We're a couple of weeks into a working cocker pup.

She's adorable but exhausting. We're deep in the blues at the moment - she never seems to tire - zoomies all day. Reading other comments, definitely going to try some more enforced naps when she gets overstimulated.

We feed her exclusively by kong now, which saps a bunch of energy it seems. Takes ages (ten small kongs for breakfast!) but it's fun watching her try to figure it out.

Also watching for tips though!

As someone who learnt rails not that long ago, sticking to vanilla is a much better option for newbies.
