Why Software Teams Are Abandoning Git Monorepos

In this episode of The Programming Languages Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore why major engineering organizations are quietly moving away from monolithic code repositories. With GitHub and GitLab pushing monorepo architectures for faster CI pipelines, we examine the hidden coordination costs that drive teams back to polyrepos. We look at specific friction points in dependency management, access control, and developer onboarding that make single-repo setups unsustainable for many mid-sized companies. If your team is struggling with repository bloat or slow pull requests, this breakdown of the structural trade-offs will help you decide which model actually fits your scale. #SoftwareEngineering #GitWorkflow #MonorepoVsPolyrepo #DevOpsCulture #CodeRepository #TeamCollaboration #TechLeadership #DeveloperProductivity #GitHub #GitLab #ContinuousIntegration #SourceControl #EngineeringManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechTrends2026 #CodingStandards #InfrastructureDecisions Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
