Nobody is denying partitioning is helpful. It’s the implementation details of that partitioning that cause the debate. IMO using repos as a partition boundary is an abuse of git. And IMO invoking Plato to make a point is not helpful. Argumentum ad antiquitatem. This goes for the “30 years” comment as well: it’s entirely conceivable that they’ve been doing things inefficiently for 30 years. More likely that there is such a huge sunk cost that they are heavily invested in justifying it. |

How so? Why don't we put our Rails applications in the Rails repository?

What I am pointing to is a common thread. Plato, Christopher Alexander, Edwards Deming, etc. What I am arguing for is anything but common tradition. It's counter to what is current "common knowledge".

Yes, entirely possible. And if we find a better way to do things, we will be first in line.

What's your evidence of this?
