You carry the weight of the entire codebase and somehow it holds together. The monorepo is a burden and a superpower — shared types, atomic commits across services, one version of truth. The Ten of Wands rewards those disciplined enough to maintain what they have built.

The monorepo is now 40GB, CI takes 90 minutes, and a typo in a README triggers a full rebuild of every microservice. You wanted shared code and you got shared suffering. Nobody can deploy independently and everyone is blocked by the one team that keeps breaking the build.
