[ShMcK]

• Draft Title: Breaking the Cycle: Untangling Your Codebase and Accelerating Builds with Turborepo
• Length: 10-15 mins
• Links: (slides, article, notes) TODO
• Which dates, particularly Tue/Wed/Thu during the 2nd/3rd week of a month, are you likely available? Anytime.

Learn how to identify and remove circular dependencies in sprawling codebases, introduce linting and tooling to keep new entanglements at bay, and harness Turborepo’s incremental build features. This talk covers practical refactoring tips, real-world examples, and a roadmap to transform chaotic imports into a clean, maintainable architecture.
