Monorepos: Please don’t

http://wiki.c2.com/?ConwaysLaw "Conway's Law" is something like "organisation of code will match the organisation of people". It's a neat description.

I think it's more common to merge or split modules and classes than repositories. I wonder if there'd be less tension if repos and teams were 1:1 though.

Anecdotally, yes I think it helps a lot. I was once part of an organization for which each "team" having a repo is the only thing that prevented violence :-)

I've also seen arbitrary separations of repos because 2 people didn't get along and couldn't work together.
