So I was watching this video from Chris which was very helpful:

When he is upload the image to the database the image name is a randomly generated ID. Which is awesome, but if you have tons of users whats the chance that there are conflicts using this strategy?

he uses UUID().uuidstring

A UUID() is always unique. This from Wikipedia:

So that is why the images are named that way.
