Wow. Also pretty funny that he says "if we followed semver rules exactly, literally every single release would be a major version bump".

Seems like quite a blase approach to the development of such a large project.

I always ask teams that say that: "OK, so every release will be major, what's the problem?"

I don't think anyone is losing sleep that we're on Chrome 86.0.4240.75 and that communicates exactly the amount of information I need to know if that's older or newer than another version.

I agree it's not semantic versioning, per se, and maybe not nice to developers but it's at least communicating clearly IMO.
