Why I Stopped Using Sorbet in All My Ruby Projects

For over five years, in a professional capacity, I’ve worked mostly on projects built using Ruby. Most of the systems I worked on used Ruby on Rails and varied in size from microservice to monolith.For several of those years, I’d repeatedly get frustrated with Ruby’s dynamic nature, especially in the decade-old monolith. I’d end up debugging a problem, trying to understand what objects are being passed into a method, and finding myself having to jump through many classes to work it out or execute the code and use a debugger.
