The documentation for the application I maintain is scattered with similar buzzwords. Unfortunately the database design is crap leading to way more code than is necessary. It also includes important information that has been pickled and stored in a field, so its a nightmare to debug. It's done in Django but he has used a "fat controllers thin models philosophy" - the opposite of Django best practices, so it doesn't take advantage of many of Django's features such as lazy loading and doesn't run quickly as a result.
