We are turning to https://sorbet.org/ to reign in the madness. I'm keen to know if others are doing the same, and how they are finding it (pros and cons)

...sort of feels like kicking the can down the road if this is how the ammonia is generated for "Green Steel".

Conways law is also a real thing. Sometimes, microservices are a practical choice given team structures and ownership, rather than product reasons.... likewise the monolith. Sometimes with a smaller team(s), the monolith is the most pragmatic option, as increasing product complexity due to all the above needs, reduces the capacity for other work.
Sometimes - its a good thing to embrace conways and run with it, as opposed to discovering it as a side affect.
If you need encouragement, try and find others stories of career change, and how they did it - there are plenty of them out there.... From https://www.ambisie.com/st/kerry-kitzelman :
"Some jobs can be like golden handcuffs. They pay well but you feel trapped by them. You are afraid to step out and make a change in case you wind up worse than before. Some jobs are like cardboard handcuffs, they pay nothing but you still allow yourself to be trapped by them because of fear of the unknown.
Making a decision to change may indeed result in your fears being realised, but facing that fear gives you the courage to overcome.
Since the day I decided to cut the umbilical cord to poorly paid employment, I have not been afraid to apply for any position I think I might enjoy and be rewarded for. It sometimes means steep learning curves and working harder than anyone else on your team, especially those that have the experience you don't. But the reward is that the world opens up to you. There is so much more opportunity than you could possibly have imagined."
‘This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot.’
So I guess it acknowledges that we are in the pursuit of contentment / satisfaction - not money... at what ever level of ritual we are following
