Opening Claude from the parent directory is what I do, and it seems to work pretty well, but I do like this monorepo idea so that a single commit can change things in the front end and back end together, since this is a use case that's quite common
Except of course rollout will not be atomic anyway and making changes in a single commit might lead Devs to make changes without thinking about backwards compat
Yeah, I used to hate it, but as I was building a new project I was like, oh man, I can't believe I'm even thinking of doing this, but it makes more sense LOL Instead of prompting twice, I can prompt once in one shot and it has the context of both pieces too. I guess if I ever need them to be separate I can always do that too.
