What language and build tool is this that you're using?
I don't know anyone who has abused Maven or Cargo or Go like this. And I don't imagine Visual Studio Solutions for C# are used like this.
Is there an underlying disagreement based on JS/Ruby/Python scriptish coding (which creaks when a lot of developers work on it) vs C and C++ (which have astonishingly bad build system stories) vs big-iron languages that don't sweat when in a monorepo.
- jhasse 8y agoI have never done such a hack myself, but I've seen it. Mostly in C++ projects ;)
- btschaegg 8y ago> And I don't imagine Visual Studio Solutions for C# are used like this. At my workplace, we've just been cleaning up a whole bunch of instances of exactly that anti-pattern. Except that it's obviously not symlinks (which require specific user rights on Windows), but links to external files in VS. Same problem, though: They're easy to introduce and a pain to deal with later on.
