Has Monzo lost its USP?

then do you have some kind of developer tooling to do jump-to-definition across the RPC boundaries?

Not sure what you mean by “jump to definition”, I assume “how do we know which services do what?”

There’s somethings that help:

  1. All of our services use the same grammatical structure for RPCs
    Once you learn this, you can pretty much guess roughly what an RPC will look like :slight_smile: Services also follow obvious naming patterns (service.emoji deals with emoji, service.plushie deals with the Monzo Plushie etc etc – these are just fake example services)
  2. We have shell completion for all RPC calls so if you can approximately guess what an RPC looks like, you can autocomplete it :smiley:
  3. We have extensive documentation around most services and RPCs. For more on this, see Jen’s forum posts Monzonaut AMA - Jen - Knowledge Management Lead 📚

We also use a monorepo ( https://twitter.com/obeattie/status/1080497735680307200 for source) which means “jump to definition” in a code editor is very easy, as it’s all under the same repo :tada:
