Facebook and I believe Twitter, too. It's almost as if anyone who actually has to contend with problems at this scale prefers a monorepo and anyone who likes to speculate on how to solve other people's problems on message boards thinks it's a dumb idea.
- iainmerrick 10y agoTrue, but I believe a lot of both Facebook's and Twitter's dev culture comes from ex-Google employees. So there could still be some groupthink going on. (Alternatively, a victory for successful ideas?) Indirect evidence: both of them released open source clones of Google's proprietary build system "Blaze" -- Facebook's "Buck" and Twitter's "Pants". Google was actually last to the party, with "Bazel".
