SemVer Considered Harmful (jolynch.github.io)

Doesn't really seem like SemVer's fault that package managers can't deal with more than one version at a time.

Our code should probably start being more explicit about what it requires, and we should probably stop having this weird, complicated indirection layer where code asks for some vague thing called "lodash" and receives lodash 4.7.19 today and lodash 5.9.1 tomorrow. This is not saving us time or making our lives simpler.
