You'd be surprised where your code ends up getting used in a monorepo when you have thousands of software engineers all working on it.

that's the downside. nobody owns anything, dependencies and deployments become opaque.

i once had a team lead in a quasi monorepo situation tell me straight up to copy-paste some functions i was interested in from their code. they made up some fishy story about deployments. was the story true? did they even know? did anyone know? who even owned it? would they even know?

or the guy who got up in arms because i touched his team's code and didn't write the unit tests that they didn't write when they originally wrote the code.

oh, monorepos.
