I mean, if you have hundreds of engineers, that might be sound advice; if you have 20, you’ll probably be fine.

Of course, you shouldn't start a project from 10 repos. But the downside is while you live in a single repo all the tooling get tuned to work with a single repo. And then there is no way to go multi-repo when you need to.

So advice would be: start small but think big :)
