THE COORDINATION TAX IN YOUR SOFTWARE ESTATE

Summary from the TLDR IT newsletter

Large companies with proprietary software should reconsider polyrepo defaults because repository boundaries create recurring coordination costs across ownership, backlogs, releases, and controls. A monorepo can make related software cheaper to change, improve reuse and enable broader AI productivity, but the business case should be based on measured coordination work and must account for migration, tooling, ownership, and access-control costs.
