       I spent 15 years developing a tool to make sense of software
       version numbers
        
       Over 15 years ago, I had a strange idea: what if software version
       numbers weren't just arbitrary labels, but followed deeper patterns
       - almost like coordinates in a space?  I noticed some hidden rules
       behind how version numbers evolve, and that led me to build
       something I call CodeCompath: a tool for generating and visualizing
       software versions based on those rules. It's a quiet project, not
       flashy - but to me, it represents a long, slow unfolding of an idea
       I couldn't let go of.  Here's a short demo:

       you're curious about the thought process:
       https://youtu.be/8R0HMyHwm-c  I know this is a niche topic, but
       I've put a lot of myself into it over the years. If you're someone
       who cares about versioning, patterns, or systems thinking - I'd
       love to hear your thoughts.
