I don't think CS degree was needed pre-LLM era, you just needed to know what you're doing. Maybe learning and doing got faster, but you still need to learn and know. There are CS grads that don't know still. I hope you know what is required for "production software". Claude code doesn't.

IMO it's not really a monorepo. There's a single codebase really. The author didn't meet the real monorepo pain points yet. The author didn't mention git operations slowing down, CI not handling the scale of the commit events from a single source and so on, instability of codebase due to many parallel changes, painful merges etc.

The difference between 150K LOC and Google's largest codebase in the world is huge and AFAIK google has a monorepo.

From my experience real monorepo requires a lot of tooling and maintenance.

In the past I compared downtime between github pages, firebase and gitlab using pingdome. Firebase had the most downtime, then github. Gitlab had zero downtime for months. Not sure it's the simplest but it was simple enough. Included Let's encrypt TLS out of the box and free support of custom domain name. Plus I configured auto deploy after each master commit with gitlab ci.
