On: The cargo cult of versioning

[civilitty]

As with all things in life, semantic versioning is a heuristic for a largely stochastic process. You and only you are responsible for whether your code is broken or not. Semantic versioning is just this one standard most of us have agreed to follow as a community to make that responsibility a little easier to bear.

I think I was being unclear.

I didn't mean that semantic versioning is bad, I meant that specifying your dependencies in terms of semantic versions is bad.
