Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
