DefinitelyTyped is a monorepo! Yes, it is! But for real this time!

It hasn't happened yet (merging today!!!), but I wrote a big ol blog post on the giant migration of DefinitelyTyped to a @pnpm.bsky.social monorepo! I am super excited for this. Again thank you @andrewbran.ch, Nathan, @zkochan.bsky.social and everyone else.

Next week is gonna be a fun week

Soon the scourge of baseUrl, paths, and typesRoot will be purged, replaced with "how about we actually use node_modules like everyone else"

(thank you Andrew and Nathan for your efforts, and of course @zkochan.bsky.social and contributors for pnpm)
