Object oriented and immutability are not mutually exclusive.

Would I be correct in assuming that you're tired of people not doing proper data engineering, and in general having a irresponsible disregard for it?

At least, "soul crushing to constantly be fixing problems that shouldn't have happened in the first place" resonates a lot. But I mostly see it as a result of the aforementioned.

Yeah in theory one can do everything correctly with assembly language. That sort of argument misses the point entirely.

When you have to touch code that several other people work on, guardrails are the only guarantee you have that someone else didn't take shortcuts and left unnecessary levels of complexity behind for you to untangle.
