monorepos complicate everything. documentation doesn't factor them in, deployment instructions don't factor them in. efficient deployment needs a whole additional framework on top. additionally AI also doesn't understand the combination of things, but when it does, a new major version of a framework has dropped and isn't in the training set.

I'm just venting because that's the prompt and I don't need a solution or rely on AI. but if someone does have solutions I guess I'm interested

Just use Git Submodules.
