MAJOR.SEMVER.PATCH (Changelog Interviews #597)
Predrag Gruevski and Chris Krycho joined the show to talk about SemVer. We explore the challenges and the advantages of semantic versioning (aka SemVer), the need for improving the tooling around SemVer, where semantic versioning really shines and where it's needed, Types and SemVer, whether or not there's a better way, and why it's not as simple as just opting out.
