Show Notes
We tackle the counterintuitive idea that a monorepo can support better modularity than multi-repos. The discussion covers how modern tooling like Nx and Bazel creates logical boundaries and hermetic builds, the practical benefits for solo developers and large teams, and why AI agents may prefer a unified codebase. Learn how to get started with pnpm workspaces and why the trade-off is worth it.
