monorepo mindset

• monorepos aren’t just a tool - they’re a philosophy
• stop splitting before you start building

premature splitting = premature optimization’s evil twin

• “but what about future scale?”
• “what about microservice architecture?”
• “what about team autonomy?”
• shut up and build something that works first

monorepo = one source of truth

• atomic changes ✓
• shared code ✓
• one version of everything ✓
• no dependency hell ✓
• no integration roulette ✓
• everything moves together or breaks together - your choice
• it’s simple-complex|simplicity over complexity applied to architecture

monorepo thinking is life thinking

• ideas scattered across 12 apps = chaos
• ideas in one place = connections
• to-do lists scattered = stress
• to-do lists unified = progress
• stop fragmenting your brain
• embrace system-thinking-web3|system thinking - see how everything connects

the monorepo life

• start together
• stay unified
• split when you have to (not when you want to)
• that’s how you build systems that don’t implode
• that’s how you build a life that doesn’t fragment

unified code. unified mind. unified success.
