Depends on the scale you're working with. If your complete code can fit locally, you're working at a different scale. Huge monorepos won't fit on a laptop-sized local disk these days, and a full local dev env would take a half dozen VMs to even replicate half-successfully.

We’re talking generally here about all software development, so of course we can find exceptional cases to refute anything anyone says. Let’s scope the discussion to what is likely a common developer scenario where `git clone` works and it’s possible to run a reasonable facsimile of the application locally (maybe with some simulators for cloud services).
The article we're discussing is from Uber, which has a huge monorepo. It's exactly the use case they designed Devpod for.

Reason 743 why monorepos create more problems than they solve
