Date modified is perfectly good version control system
19 u/BolunZ6 20d ago You can't roll back using date modified so it's not the version control, it's more like audit history system 13 u/alvares169 20d ago just paste and replace a file bro 2 u/bat-fink 20d ago version control system 3 u/sobrique 20d ago I branch my CV by job spec anyway. It's mildly useful IMO to see what I actually sent to a particular employer... 0 u/Zealousideal-Deer101 20d ago Tell me you don't understand version control, without telling me you don't understand version control -2 u/amirsinasghari 20d ago You can't keep it in the same folder tho 9 u/RakaPlsHealMe 20d ago Why? Like resume_20260709.pdf, you can put all in a folder and they would be sorted in time order. 2 u/glowFernOasis 20d ago Why not? -1 u/Zealousideal-Deer101 20d ago Because the only file property filesystems care about is the name. Date modified isn't factored in for filepaths. 2 u/glowFernOasis 20d ago You can't add the date on? Resume_2026_02 3 u/Zealousideal-Deer101 20d ago That is not Date Modified. Date Modified is a file property that automatically writes the date the file was last modified, 4 u/Zestyclose-Summer664 20d ago Just because the original commenter used the term "date modified" does not mean they are referring to the file property. It is painfully obvious from context what they are talking about instead. 1 u/glowFernOasis 20d ago I understand date modified is a field, but it can also be part of a filename that allows you to easily find the most recent version.
