With all that said, I am a monorepo guy. Not for ideological reasons. For practical reasons. Yep. It's a balance. The big problem I have with large(r) repos is that everything git related is just slower and takes way more space. I've got some git prompt magic (using gitoxide of course) and it just drags with the rust repo. At one point I wanted to make some changes to a man page in FreeBSD. Sure, it's neat that there's thirty years of history. But it's thirty years of everything's history. Shallow cloning made it a bit more bearable, but the UX for trying to grab just a directory or two from a repo is still petty gnarly. But it's all just emacs vs vi all over again (and I've settled on helix and sublime anyhow).
