Reading through some controllers and models, haven't encountered a single code comment yet, just chiselled-out ruby.

Arbitrary examples:

Could it be that they removed /all/ comments from the codebase when they made it public, to not release some sensitive information that was in them?

possible, but I've worked in similar sized codebases that didn't use them intentionally (linted them out)

the idea being that the code should be readable enough to not require then
