I think this is especially true for line of business applications that have the following qualities:
1. It's simple. Let's not lie, let's not pretend. It's CRUD. You can put in K8S, you can add AI, it can be behind an API Gateway, you can make it all Event Driven, you can use CQRS for every entity because you really, really want to feel clever. But it's still CRUD.
2. Other people are working on it, many other people.
3. People from other companies are interfacing with it.
So knowing what to expect trumps everything. Types help with that. They help a lot.
