In many respects I feel an LLM benefits from a monorepo. I've vibe coded a bunch of helper CLIs recently and end up repeating the same preferences for all of them.
I want all my CLIs to use clippy, parse arguments with clap, etc. They're distinct tools in distinct repos though.
Today I learnt that `cargo fix` won't fix code with compiler errors by default, but you can override this!
$ cargo fix --broken-code --allow-dirty && cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty
This incantation does exactly what I wanted :)
It's always seemed odd to me that the Rust stdlib is so lean (no random numbers, regex, HTTP) yet clippy is so big (correctness, performance, style preferences, even 'too many arguments').
Maybe it's because cargo is mature but clippy doesn't have an extension ecosystem?
