I love love love monorepo + fat encapsulated modules + a couple of deployables. Why does the software industry create fake complexity/creativity in the craft? Fashion/hype architectures for dopamine and fulfilment. You're just wasting energy finding new ways to create machine code for hardware. Why not get creative in the hardware and actually make something new? Another thing that really grinds my gears, is how many human hours are poured into js frameworks instead of improving browsers. What an utter waste of time. Maybe mediocre engineers like me who could never design a CPU or extend a browser need to feel seen by embracing a new domain whatever concept to make us feel warm and fuzzy but not really innovate the real hard things that move the needle.

They're sharing it for a reason. That reason is to disarm their opponents.
