I find selling the mono-repo such a difficult task, even when benefits like this are implemented and demonstrated to be amazing.
We’re a team of 3 engineers covering hardware, a cloud service, CLI, edge compute worker, ML stack, video processing, and WebRTC. Biggest boon to productivity?. Everything is in a single monorepo. You can run the whole stack locally, and make changes across the system in one PR.

"For programmers that means poring over that pull request of theirs over and over again until it’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is functionally correct.". I like to apply this at the commit level, where the history tells a compelling story of "mark the hard change easy. ".
“If there’s anything I see juniors often miss, it’s this. Careful, repeated, even obsessive, study of their own work. For programmers that means poring over the pull request until it’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is functionally correct.”

“Oh, and you often have to rewrite your app in proprietary JavaScript – even if it’s already written in JavaScript!”. 🔥.
FLAME is out! 🔥 Auto scale by wrapping any app code in a function and have that block run in a temporary copy of your app. It's time to rethink Serverless. No rewrites. No bespoke runtimes. No outrageous layers of complexity. Blog + screencast 👉

Summarizing books is such a great way to deepen comprehension. My problem is that is that read (and listen) in environments unsuitable for note taking (doing chores, before bed, in a lounger). Still trying to add this to the mix.
One of my smartest friends only reads 3-5 books per year but rewrites every page in his own words as he goes through it. Then, he summarizes the entire book once he's done. He reads only the best books, but very carefully. This is the kind of reading we should be encouraging.
