I just finished watching Why Google Stores Billions of Lines of Code in a Single Repository and honestly, while it looks intriguing, it also looks horrible.

At Meta, if it's an internal library, the team that maintains it updates all the code to use the latest version (that's the advantage of a monorepo). As an aside, if your project broke because someone else touched your code, that's on you for not writing better tests.

If it's an external library, it either has a team responsible for it that does the above, otherwise it probably didn't get updated since the day it was added.
