Do not listen to pithy blog posts. Seriously. There's too many factors to consider that aren't in the blog post. They get upvoted on HN here quickly, and most often when they are written from ignorance, which seems super confident, and leaves out all the detail and nuance that could make such an upvote questionable. I'm pretty sure the upvotes are based on an emotional reaction to the title alone. (The "reasonable drawbacks" part of this post should have been like 5 pages; and the same for multirepo) If you really want to know whether you should use a monorepo, first go buy a book about them. Then talk to senior leaders in organizations that have gone through an entire growth cycle and migrated from multirepo to monorepo or vice versa. The random dude on the random blog post doesn't have the perspective to inform you properly about the implications. Hell, I've done the switch twice, and I still wouldn't call myself an expert.
