Why Monorepos Break Down Without Tooling
A monorepo starts simple: two packages, fast builds, easy sharing. Then it grows. Six packages, twelve packages. Suddenly npm run build in the root takes four minutes because it rebuilds every package every time, even the ones that haven't changed.
This is the problem Turborepo was built to solve.
