Not Born One: Evolution to a Monolith
I don’t know if you had the chance to run into a family member you haven’t seen for 30 years,since he was a small toddler. If you haven't, try googling “Brad Pitt as a baby” or any other celebrity of your choice. Your immediate reaction would probably be “OMG there is no way that this is Brad Pitt! He has grown and changed so much!”. Same goes for this very big Git repository you are working on. When it was first born/created, it was empty. A minute afterwards it had a single “main” file. And now you’re looking at it - and it’s old. It has grown and changed so much. It was not born as a Monolith - it has evolved to one.
