📚 Colocation matters. Cognitive load matters. Boundaries matter. High cohesion matters. Yes, even in the age of AI (maybe even more so). Enter the vertical codebase:

I was curious about the monorepo suggestion. Are you suggesting that a React SPA, for example, should literally be a monorepo with each vertical as its own package? Could you please share an example of what that looks like in practice?

Yes, pretty much. Taking Josh's example you shared, you would have a monorepo package for base, search and users. Each having their own package.json with defined exports. It's no different to "top level folders", just that it's "top level packages"
