Monorepos are great if you are a monoculture. I don't find it surprising that Google, Facebook and Twitter all enjoy and benefit from monorepos. I also don't find life inside the monochromatic empire particularly appealing.

I think the benefits that massive corporations derive from monorepos demonstrates how massive corporations are a net negative to society. Imagine if, instead of an increasingly centralised and closed culture in technology, companies were small enough and interdependent enough that a decentralised model became a net positive.
