Agreed about the lack of monorepo tooling. There's just not that much out there. A couple of other links I didn't see in the awesome-monorepo:

- https://github.com/facebookexperimental/mononoke - I hear this is a real thing and not a science fair project

- https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng - Needed in a monorepo to handle high arrival rate of commits / merges

Interesting link in that Wikipedia article [1] to Apple's LEDBAT implementation used for downloading updates.

A coincidentally timed writeup on 'Sonification for monitoring and debugging distributed systems':

The Kubernetes submit-queue munger is also worth a look: https://github.com/kubernetes/contrib/tree/master/mungegithu...
Re:Writing a Compiler in Go on Tuesday May 03, 2016 @11:08AM (#11621306)
Go also has a builtin yacc implementation: https://golang.org/cmd/yacc/

  It is largely transliterated from the Inferno version
  written in Limbo which in turn was largely transliterated 
  from the Plan 9 version written in C and documented at 
  http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/yacc
For a real example in action, see the mtail project: https://github.com/google/mtail/blob/master/vm/compiler.go

Could not agree more with this.

FWIW: Some of these ideas are echoed and further developed in "The Art of Action" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CRSN2O

"The insight is that alignment needs to be achieved around intent, and autonomy should be granted around actions. Intent is expressed in terms of what to achieve and why. Autonomy concerns the actions taken in order to realize the intent; in other words, about what to do and how."

Re:Effective Learning Strategies for Programmers on Sunday October 11, 2015 @06:59PM (#10371490)
I've found Richard M. Felder's [1] research in this area useful. He makes a compelling argument [2] that one size does not fit all and describes a taxonomy of learning styles. Understanding my own learning style [3] has helped me optimize the way I go about coming up to speed on new topics.
