Boss: This is the latest documents we have.

Me: Oh, that's v2, I have v3 here, so I'll send them over to you.

Boss: But it has (3) behind the filename. Isn't that uptodate?

Me: Nah, that's a copy of a copy of a copy. That's why I put a v before the number! ;)

Boss: I don't understand...

Oh boy! 😋

I'll go for v<date> now. :P Today's version is v211213! Good luck making 211213 copies! :D

@trinsec what is you have multiple versions on the same date!

@freemo At least that way it's easier to see if Document A v3 is made around the same time as Document B v5. I can see the merit in that. Modified dates aren't always that reliable.

Versioning on filenames instead of using git....this is why we dont let Dutch people have guns, if they cant even version a file properly how can we expect them to handle a firearm!
