I didn’t realise. Was not paywalled for me on the phone.

I think this dynamics shows up with masto as well. When the response on the other service does not tag the community, it doesn’t arrive here.

Just trying not so confuse realistic testing with self-deception :) Not convinced testing with synthetic data can pretend to be similar to a production environment.

It is not realistic to replicate a production setup in development when you’re working with sensitive user data. I’ve worked in different contexts (law enforcement, healthcare, financial services) where we’ve had complicated setups (in one instance including a thing called pre-staging environment), but never would a sizeable team of developers have access to user data, and thus to a realistic setup in terms of size, let alone of quality of data.

I’m sorry, but doesn’t sound very convincing. The strongest (reiterated) argument is “venv is standard”, but so is docker.
