Monorepos: Please don’t

I agree, it's not really solved, but solved "enough". You can't have your cake and eat it, there are tradeoffs involved- if you grow large enough to hit monorepo limitations, you are large enough to invest in tooling that manage your workflow (the tradeoff). However, if you're a small organization, you can't afford the tooling and you're wasting time/quality coordinating polyrepo releases, so you are better off with a monorepo.

Are you suggesting that the results of the HN ranking algorithm at this very moment in time is a good metric of measuring what affects developers? I don't agree, and besides @yowlingcat's opinion that the article is "horseshit" is unrelated to how well its ranked on HN.

When the opinion is not just disagreement but outright dismissal of the topic as worth discussing, I'd say ranking is relevant. So is comment count. Clearly a lot of people do believe it's worth discussion, not irrelevant or a foregone conclusion as yowlingcat tried to imply.

A lot of people can think a lot of things are worth discussion, but it doesn't mean it's prudent to waste time on it.
