    Chrome bumped its versioning numbers to overtake Firefox back in the day, that’s how we ended up with stupid version numbers like 124.1.2 instead of meaningful versions.

      And then Firefox changed its version numbering policy to “catch up”. I lost a shred of respect for them that day.

      I’ve started using CalVer (so a relase in October 2026 would be numbered 26.10). This is just so much better for end-user applications.

      God that app was such trash. Voice recognition simply did not work in the 2000s yet everybody and their mother tried to push it upon us 20 years too soon, just like they’re trying to do now with LLMs.

        Ironically, it was LLMs that made voice recognition work, but nobody is interested in pushing them anymore.
