TIL most big techs are radically on the monorepo side
Entire google ecosystem is over 80TB of code, 2 billions LoC. On one single repository. Same goes to facebook. Windows' monorepo is 300GB of code.
And that's just scratching the surface. They just keep reinventing every single tool or framework because appearently no one fucking knows how to git init.

On the other end of the spectrum: javascript devs widely use a package to tell you if an integer is even. And another one to tell you if the integer is odd; a package with over half a million weekly downloads.
I fucking hate the Javascript ecosystem and developer attitude.
Source? on the info, not the source code. unless????
google's case is quite famous tho.
The monorepo is more about dependency management. It's a bigger hurdle at sufficient size to ensure everything is the right version then have a slightly unorthodox repo.
Yeah I’m gonna need a source too.
And Amazon doesn't use monorepos. Windows is only one product that Microsoft offers.
Do they still use Repo? If so, whether it really qualifies as "one single repository" is a bit open to interpretation.
