I'm wondering if I need to rethink how I'd seeding all my tables with my seeders. Is there a better more efficient way of handling all this data. After run my seed classes for some reason I have a total of 202 users. One is me and then 201 dummy users but there should be only 200 dummy users. I don't know where the extra user is getting made at.
Goals:
- Create a user account only for me with supplied values for each field in the users table.
- Create 200 additional uses in the database with dummy data with testdummy & faker.
- Create a row for myself AND each of the other users to have a profile with supplied values for each field in the users profile table.
- Create a row for myself AND each of the other users to have links to social networking pages with supplied values for each field in the users profile social links table.
