It's worth noting with a few clicks from the linked article, you can find that this company is (at least according to LinkedIn) a single person. Which explains how the whole company can fit into a repo. But also makes you question how valuable the "insights" here are, like obviously a single-person project should be using a monorepo...
Ah, so "our" company is referring to "me and Claude"? Actually. Claude might be a pretty good co-founder. Half the job is therapy conversations anyway. :)
have you ever heart that google is also one repo? at least it was until 2015. don’t know the story later. So it doesn’t have to be one person company. yet they are making billions
I'm not making any claims about monorepo being good or bad and I'm fully aware large companies have monorepos (or at least very large repos). I'm saying that the fact it's a one-person "company" needs to be taken into account when talking about how applicable their experience is to other companies.
i am actually eagerly waiting for someone to show the real-deal: actually everything in a github repo, including 'artfiacts', or atleast those artifacts which can't be reconstructed from the repo itself.
maybe they could be encrypted, and you could say "well its everything but the encryption key, which is owned in physical form by the CEO."
theres a lot of power i think to have everything in one place. maybe github could add the notion of private folders? but now thats ACLs... probably pushing the tool way too far.

I don't see how this is any different from most projects where keys and the like are kept in some form of secrets manager (AWS services, GHA Secrets, Hashi Vault, etc.).
It just looks like a normal frontend+backend product monorepo, with the only somewhat unusual inclusion of the marketing folder.
