either have meaning to the number and do semantic versioning, or don't bother and simply use dates or maybe simple increments

Date based version numbers is just lazy. There's nothing more significant about a release in two weeks (2025.x.y) than today (2024.x.y).

At least with pride versioning there's some logic to it.
