A network mount is not a good solution for working with massive server software in a monorepo.

You end up downloading a hundred gigabytes of source material across millions of files, with the associated latency of on-demand access, just to build and run on laptop hardware.

Aggressive cancer.

Would you be willing to bring me a club sandwich with fries for less than $3-5?
