My primary language now is Common Lisp and I have one mother of all mono repos for all of my personal Common Lisp code. I set the root of this repo as a Quicklisp load point so all my libraries and applications are available with a Quicklisp load. Life is good.

I don’t quite get the point of this article though. I am a very enthusiastic but not rockstar programmer, and I don’t have problems with a large mono repo.

But you're one person. The article argues that a single repo is unmanageable when you have many devs working at the same time.

He is talking about big teams.
