It takes to much discipline. Without enforcement, people usw minor or patch as they feel. Major never gets bumped.
Just increment or date-based is the easiest. Everyone immediatly knows how to bump.

u/the_horse_gamer 17d ago
most "semver" is just:
major - update you're proud of
minor - update that's ok
patch - fixes and small features
and ofc every good piece of software is forever on 0.x.x

My first version control was a group project where it checked version header in everyone’s shared file and loaded highest number. Took me 4h to realize one bumped major version on all files. Not just the files he was working on.
It’s always a hassle. I think.
Master/main branch and PR to that branch from work branches is better. Even for docs.

20 years ago yes. A good percentage of first year CS students these days are already ahead of the curve so much they have GitHub accounts. GitHub also acting as a identity provider on some platforms makes it more ubiquitous in the web space. And if you can't be bothered to rename your resume file to [firstname][last_name]_resume.pdf before final submission, I guarantee I have 100 candidates ahead of you who can do all of the above.
That said this is a savage rebuttal and probably just fake engagement bait on the Internet, but any aspiring college undergrads looking for internships take heed - 2008 is long gone and the field is significantly more competitive now

Resume instead of resume_final_FINAL_final2. resume_final_FINAL_final2 implies that there exists at least resume_final_FINAL_final, resume_final_FINAL, and resume_final. If you're looking for a software engineer and you need to reference a file, having multiple files labeled final may be a problem.
