@dgerard One of the most maddening things about this video is realizing just how many modern apps are being developed with software that hasn't even reached major version 1.

[-] rook@awful.systems 3 points 6 months ago

Everyone is cursed with pending to use semver, or never feeling like the thing they’ve bodged together is “ready”, or are overcome with shame at how unfixably awful their creation is, and probably all three.

1.0.0 releases are meaningless now. That’s why we have zerover: https://0ver.org/

@rook "Low in the stack, low in the version. That's the HashiCorp way." 💀💀💀

[-] dgerard@awful.systems 2 points 6 months ago

to be fair, a version starting with 0 is almost certainly fair warning

Philthy doesn’t have its own versioning scheme yet, but I’m considering starting us at v1.0.0 just so we’ll never occupy the same versioning range as Lemmy or any of its dependencies

if ever there was software warranting a 0.x, it's Lemmy

as a compatible fork it might be useful to track version numbers? i guess it depends how much tracking you wanna do really

or just go to date-based releases

[-] self@awful.systems 2 points 6 months ago

date-based might be prudent for what I’d like to do — essentially because we’re running this stuff in prod, I don’t want us to go in with the expectation that what we’re writing is half-working pre-beta software (though that does closely match the current reality)
