consider looking at ripgrep and semantic search tools.
i maintain a gigantic monorepo using policies, cicd gating, pre-commit, and lots of scripting. its not unworkable, just takes process. i don’t really agree with the creators pov. but i guess i may not be a new engineer entering a team with a monolith and a bone.
I don’t see how ripgrep would help with the monorepo situation. We have tooling for an equivalent of grep, but it’s based on an index, not what’s on your filesystem.
IIRC, ripgrep used a faster algorithm than grep, but more recent versions of grep are now shipping with a faster (the same?) algorithm. So the above suggestion shouldn’t help much unless you use a very old grep.
