I think you misinterpreted the part about automation. I think the argument is: How does an automated build determine what version number to assign the build? The answer is generally that a human has to be involved.
This follows from the preceding sentence, emphasis mine:
> Another small note, when dealing with automated CI/CD pipelines, the developer must always specify the semver to the automation.
- Vinnl 6y agoYeah, but I don't think it's a problem that a human is involved - someone has to tell the user what will be in the release. That needn't necessarily be at the time of the release, btw. If you have a consistent process to update your changelog, then if you do have some completely automated release system that just releases every x time, it can simply look at the changelog to determine what version number to give it.
