The original title is "The empty-database problem: realistic test data in one command"

Short summary

dugalaxy is a CLI tool that generates realistic test data for databases using reusable templates instead of ad-hoc chatbot prompts. Templates capture data-shape decisions once and produce varied, consistent, reproducible output with deterministic seeds. The author honestly notes it validates structure but not semantic meaning, and the post is partly a product pitch for the tool.

• •Templates capture data-shape decisions once, producing reproducible test data on every run
• •Output is deterministic with same seed, unlike chatbot-generated fixtures that drift between calls
• •Tool runs locally with no account or upload, but validates structure only—not semantic correctness
