    I use CalVer in my projects. I might transition to SemVer some time, but given that most of my projects are standalone, it doesn’t make much sense to track external compatibility.

    Pride Versioning makes no sense, because In never quite proud enough of my work to distinguish it from 0ver.

    I really had to fight for versioning. Everyone was just patch version here. Breaking changes in the API, new features, completely overhauled design? Well, it’s 0.6.24 instead of 0.6.23 now.

    But gladly we’re moving away from version numbers alltogether. Starting next year it will be 2025.1.0 with monthly releases

      I wish it was true here. Major releases are always the most shameful ones because so much is always left to “we can fix that later”

        Hey as long as it ships it can always be an RMA. If there’s a problem the customer will let us know™

    I once had someone open an issue in my side project repo who asked about a major release bump and whether it meant there were any breaking changes or major changes and I was just like idk I just thought I added enough and felt like bumping the major version ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      I think is the logic used for Linux kernel versioning so you’re in good company.

      But everyone should really follow semantic versioning. It makes life so much easier.

        either have meaning to the number and do semantic versioning, or don’t bother and simply use dates or maybe simple increments

          Date based version numbers is just lazy. There’s nothing more significant about a release in two weeks (2025.x.y) than today (2024.x.y).

          At least with pride versioning there’s some logic to it.

            the point is just to have a way to tell releases apart, if every release is version 5 then you’re going to start self harming
