> My team just switched to a monorepo.

I feel like this discussion is missing an appreciation for size/scope of repositories vs. size/scope of the organisation developing that software, with a pinch of appreciation for Conway's law.

If your team is a typical team of at most, say, 30 people, then maintaining 15 different repositories is clearly insane, but merging them into a single one likely doesn't truly deserve the moniker "monorepo", because it's just not that large (and varied in scope and purpose) of a project at the end of the day.

Think of it this way: the Linux kernel is certainly a larger project, but nobody thinks of it as a monorepo. Same thing goes for major software projects like Qt.
