How is this relevant? My comment is in response to an observation about "large engineering teams," not "the monolith at the average company."
At the average company, standard tools will work fine, while companies with large engineering teams have the resources to maintain custom tooling.
- dboreham 4y agoYou are assuming that the observed tool strain scales with the number of developers. In my experience it scales with the number of coupled concerns inside the same repo. Now, this may be somewhat correlated with the number of developers, but not entirely. Therefore in my experience again you can end up with a moderately sized company running into tool limits with a monorepo. FB doesn't have those problems because they use different tools.
