Dear Rubyists,

I just lost a contract because of my code in a Rails project.

The specific code in question is related to a "posting a comment" feature. Here are the details:

In this project, "posting a comment" does not simply entail inserting a row into the database. It involves a procedure to yes, insert a row, but also detect its language, check for spam, send emails, and "share" it to Twitter and Facebook. I believe this algorithm should be encapsulated. I do not believe it belongs in a controller or a model. I do not believe Active Record callbacks should be used.

The "senior developer", whom is the stake holder's right hand man, said this:

Mail = Ember.Application.create();


// Let's pretend that Javascript can handle mutliline strings nicely:
Mail.ApplicationView = Ember.View.extend({
  template: Ember.Handlebars.compile('
  <!-- this gets replaced with content based on state when 
       connectOutlet is called on ApplicationController -->
    {{outlet}}
