Most of the mistakes they have to fix are incorrect version numbering.

AI slop bbyyyyyyy!!!!

I have seen people just add '9's to it, so to not upgrade the minor, so 2.6.997 gets 2.6.9997 and so on

Some people cannot math.

no it's more like Copy of New File (2)_final

They go up to version 0.0.8, 0.0.9, then they go to 0.0.91, 0.0.92, ... 0.0.99, 0.0.991, ...

And here I was holding my breath for the legendary 0.0.7899999999998766. Thanks for ruining all my dreams.

that's with the assumption that the smallest increment was used every time

I sometimes increment things by adding the next decimal place

note: I am not a developer, just a dude making tools at work. but I somehow always end up incrementing something now and then from 1.21 to 1.211 because I wanted to avoid the "1.21 new actually newest" situation and bumping to 1.22 didn't make sense. it's like temporary versioning for me, WIP files
