alt Hacker News> If I want to rename some common library function, it's just a single search and replace operation in a monorepo. How do you do this with multiple repos?
Multiple repos shouldn't depend on a single shared library that needs to be updated in lockstep. If they do, something has gone horribly wrong.

It doesn't need to, it's just much more convenient when you can do everything in a single commit.
They do, it's just instead of it being a library call it's a network call usually, which is even worse. Makes it nigh impossible to refactor your codebase in any meaningful way.
