Thanks for posting this. I'm glad I'm not alone in the monorepo club! I really believe in the benefits. Especially for a personal monorepo where the amount of code is not usually enough to run into the limits of git.

I'm curious about your CLI tool, what do you use it for?

Ah I was hoping to get a discussion started but no one bit the bait, haha. But I'm glad you saw it so I can personally thank you for a thoughtful article! I like the "Dot a Day" idea too, and enjoyed seeing a glimpse of the workspace.

As for the CLI, it's a primitive script (was Bash, now TypeScript with Bun) that does a few common actions like scaffolding a new project with minimal base, some shortcuts for Git, SSH, taking notes. I really liked this part of the article too, aside from the monorepo idea, seeing how other people are making their own personalized CLI tools to manage projects. Like that ASCII art, the feeling I got was a mix of nostalgia and camaraderie.
