In the JavaScript world, very frequently. If latest is 2.8 and I’m coding against 2.1, I don’t want answers using 1.6. This happened enough that I now always specify versions in my prompt.

Normally I’d think of “geez” as a low-effort reply, but my reaction is exactly the same…

The better solution would be the JavaScript people stop reinventing the world every few months.
