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.
