- gojomo 8y agoLecturing people that their preferred "leading version number" practices are "silly ego" won't help this better system attract support. But also, it's false. It's a legitimate convention, across a bunch of domains that are either analogous or intersecting with software-development, to use increments of the 1st number to signal "big user-meaningful changes" (as opposed to exactly-and-only "interface breaking changes"). It's not just ego, but evolved communication.
