Seeding Data In Ruby On Rails

I've been working on recording a few of my presentations, I still don't think I've perfected the style or production quality, but I'd love to hear any feedback on how to improve :)

In this video, I went though seeding in Ruby On Rails. Quite often I pickup projects where to get a local development environment up & going, I'm handed a production Database & left to it.

I'm a much bigger fan of using tools like Faker to generate useful seeds.
