Maybe the first, but monorepos are used company wide and contain millions of lines of code.

The monorepo approach and vendoring does work, and there are a lot of advantages to having everything work on each revision, you just need to be conscious of it.

hah. no. unless you have proper build/release/test/deploy state-of-the-art tooling the monorepo approach is a disaster. google and other bigco have it? do you?

there is a reason we modularize and version things in software.

in the context in which you pull in external libraries you don’t control, using a monorepo is madness.
