Why We Chose a Marketing and Application Monorepo

// , I love that you addressed some of the big downsides.

No security isolation.

Our blog is in our principal application source code. To edit a post you would need access to all our source. This is fine for our four-person partnership - but would be unworkable for a conventional company.

In my line of work the current incompetent security model of source code managers tends to be why I end up with waaaaay more repos than I'd think would be necessary.

Why did you even make this post if it's just a link to another blog, you cod've at least taken the time to copy paste the markdown or something

// , I guess he posted it here so that we know about it, but he doesn't have to update it in two places if he makes changes?

A little annoying but understandable. Joe maybe you could add a paragraph here, just for us, and have the link as a "for more details" thingy.
