Looks like the standard rails mess :/ Don't get me wrong. From time to time i am going to look at other peoples rails code to learn, how they solved common problems in grown rails apps. Most oft the time i leave rather disappointed...

I like the spec for Comment#id_code_generated ;)

Can you be more specific? The modeling/models don't look TOO insane - need some refactoring, but not too far off.

If you think this is a rails mess - you haven't seen anything yet. I am still able to hop in and reason about what this codebase does with no onboarding - a key benefit of rails. I've worked on codebases where all those niceties were thrown out the window.
