Some lessons from monorepos:
Node Version Manager (nvm) with .nvmrc helps local conformance to a specific version of Node.js.
It's a chore to figure out utils/ depends on a/ and b/, but it's a good thing to add to the docs.
`npm pack` with `file://` may be easier to reason about than linking.
After changing a common/ package, there's risk to having to merge one package, wait for it to publish, and then consume that new version in the next package(s). Serial PRs and the whole team is waiting.
