semantic

1. a number that just increases every time someone does something, because doing things properly is hard.
Ive just made a code change. I expect semantic versioning to automatically increment, because bumping a version up (0.0.1 -> 0.0.2) by 1 is hard.

When someone does a thing with a code change and expects semantic versioning to increment itself. Simply append the version by one (depending on a breaking/major/minor change) and deploy. Fairly simple...

semantic regime change

When the meaning of words shifts so drastically that reality itself starts to feel like a glitch. Usually driven by cultural agendas, internet discourse, or corporate rebranding.
Examples:

"First, 'disruption' meant innovation—now it means getting laid off. Another semantic regime change, baby."

"Remember when 'outside' meant nature and not just…vibes? Total semantic regime change."
