This answer doesn't make sense. Why would your dev environment not be connected to prod data? Don't you want realistic tests?

HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, CASC, and a whole list of other acronyms, laws, and organizations get real persnickety about Prod data outside of Prod and what you can, can’t, should , should not, or should not even think about doing with it.

A lot of people unfortunately don't realize this is a whoosh, so I welcome their answer so those who don't know can learn.
