Do not expect database user with app name to exist
By default when creating a project with `--database=postgresql` the `config/database.yml` file that is generated has a user specified that is the same as the app name
```
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: <%= app_name %>_development
pool: 5
username: <%= app_name %>
password:
```
This is counterintuitive and would rarely be valid. By default postgres creates a user with the current user name (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/database-roles.html) "it will have the same name as the operating system user that initialized the database cluster":
```
$ whoami
schneems
```
If the `username` is left out postgresql will assume that you wish to log in as the default user
```
$ psql -c '\du'
List of roles
Role name | Attributes | Member of
-----------+------------------------------------------------+-----------
schneems | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {}
```
A good sensible default then for auto generated `database.yml` files is to remove the `username`, and have postgres attempt to connect to the database as the currently logged in user.
Instead of submitting with a blank password, don't submit a password.
