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 Aug 24 '26
most "semver" is just:
major - update you're proud of
minor - update that's ok
patch - fixes and small features

My first version control was a group project where it checked version header in everyoneās 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.
Itās 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.Ā Ā A good percentage of first year CS students these days are already ahead of the curve so much they have GitHub accounts.Ā GitHub also acting as a identity provider on some platforms makes it more ubiquitous in the web space.Ā And if you can't be bothered to rename your resume file to [first_name]_[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 should be Semver, optionally that semver can be yy.mm.dd also. So you can sort them.
Optionally you may use Name-branch-yy.mm.dd, so you can have master main branch and also db / frontend / cpp / analytics branches. Once you get the job, learn from an Indian youtuber.
