2000 repos what the fuck. More repos than engineers sounds terrible. Having worked in a large monolithic repo, I much prefer that. Everything (Shipping, testing

  I think we had 200 across three teams and that was starting to become miserable. Which is to say I was miserable and others were slowly coming around. I started eyeballing two of them to combine because they were dominating stack trace frames, and after a number of rounds of feature toggle cleanup and refactoring to use other modules, had dwindled down to about 60% of a reasonable module size. Not a lot of this sort of work gets done.

  Eh. I’ve worked at companies with large monorepos and I’ve worked on teams with more repos than engineers. At large scale, it takes good tooling to make it work well, and that’s true both for monorepos and for multirepos. I do think that the monorepo tooling is better, but I think the difference isn’t so large. You can have a completely miserable experience in a monorepo or multirepo setup, or a good experience.
