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.
