In a software development environment, things have versions, or historic snapshots of how they evolve over time. Can I say “You need to version this or that” so as to refer that something needs historic evolution tracking?
Answer
If your colleague understands it, it is fine. While ‘version’ is not a verb, English has quite a history of converting nouns to verbs; check this Calvin and Hobbes comic.
