I've read your post a couple days ago. The solution just came to me.
You go to a person who makes the end decisions and demand that they invest in retraining their developers. You demand that on the basis that you take too much load on yourself and it's not healthy for you. Just tell them what would happen if you were to leave the company. That would give them the right perspective in mind.

How they would retrain them I don't know. Perhaps you know some workshops they can go through. I think if you initiate that kind of thing you should have a suggestion in place how that should go.

Otherwise, leave this place, but before find some functional shop (perhaps Elixir, there are a lot of positions in the slack job channel for Elixir devs).

Thank you for your response. I've spoken with my manager and I'll be switching to another team in another division doing something entirely different. I hope it'll be a better experience.

I've been learning Elixir but don't quite feel confident to seek a job as an Elixir dev.
