most things scale if you throw enough resources at them. we generally say that things don’t scale if the majority case doesn’t scale… it costs far fewer resources to scale with multiple repos that it does to scale a monorepo, thus monorepo doesn’t scale: i’d argue even the google case proves that… they’ve already sunk so much into dev tooling to make it work… it might be beneficial to the culture (in that they like engineers to work across the entire google codebase), but it’s not a decision made because it scales: scale is an impediment
